This is an in-store tasting at Glengarry Takapuna so no need to book, just pop on down to the store and try some wines from 4-6pm.

These days, out on the borders, some people like to build walls. It's all part of a trending push to adopt a more conservative, inward-looking stance, and it’s often self-serving in nature. You might think that this has little to do with your bottle of wine, but you’d be wrong. Hence, some very good wines there that travel a less frequented path (biodynamic wines, natural or unfined wines, for instance) can cop a wall's worth of rejection as they are 'cast into exile' by those policing the regulations. These wines and their creators are forging new paths, often into old, forsaken territories, and we should be encouraged by their energy, their initiative and their sheer audacity, to cheer them on. Enjoy tasting a range of Organic, Biodynamic, Natural, Low/Non-Sulphite, Vegan, Orange and Pet-Nat wines at Takapuna.
