One might almost be forgiven for thinking that the 17th Century tulip mania has resurfaced in an infatuation with gin, such is the burgeoning range of mainstream and more boutique options available to Glengarry regulars. Fortunately nobody is having to mortgage their property to get in on this craze, but with such a huge selection to choose from the task of selecting what to sip on a sunny Sunday afternoon isn't quite as straightforward (or boring!) as it once was. With the goal of easing these tough decisions in mind, and the requests of dozens of afficionados ringing in our ears, we are hosting a tasting night focused entirely on Gin, with a selection of fine options being opened to be explained, discussed and enjoyed. Book quickly as the gin craze is showing no signs of abating and places will fill quickly!

The Christmas Champagne tasting has become something of a tradition at our Takapuna store. Anticipated as keenly by the team pouring as it is by the locals sipping and swirling, we have been through a few different themes - from broad discussions of the different Grand Marque and growers to sampling some of the superb 2008 vintage. This year we will try something different again - with pink as our inspiration. Rosé champagne is often seen as the sweeter, less serious cousin of the methode champenois. In truth these are (mostly) dry wines that can be every bit as special as the finest cuvée. Don't believe us? Book quickly and come in for what is sure to be a memorable evening.
