Glengarry Victoria Park, or "Vic Park" as it is often referred to, is our flagship store in Auckland and is has just had a makeover of epic proportions. Located underneath Sweat Shop Brew Bar on Sale St, this site offers conference and meeting facilities, a Fine Wine cellar, a Malt Corner, a great wall on Spirits, The Coffee Bar, a fill-your-own beer Growler station and a comprehensive selection of Champagne that's hard to beat. There is off street parking for customers at the Wellesley Street entrance and for those short on time, we've installed a drive-through service featuring a concise range right on hand for convenient shopping. Not far from the Victoria Park Market and motorway connections, this is an ideal stop for those working in downtown Auckland but heading onto the motorway after work. Proud runner-up in two Top Shop 2015 Award categories: Food & Beverage as well as National / Multi-Store!

The Gaja winery was founded in the Piemonte region of northern Italy in 1859 by Giovanni Gaja, and it has been family owned and operated for four generations, in a constantly evolving arc of inspired winemaking. For the last 50 years, Angelo Gaja has been one of the most renowned producers in the world, having started a revolution in quality in both Barbaresco and Barolo. He has also been one of the most controversial personalities in the region, with his unconvential winemaking methods, defying of the appellation rules, alternative names for traditional vineyards, and plantings of international varieties. Tonight our Fine Wine Manager Regan McCaffery, will be presenting one of the finest lineups of GAJA ever shown in New Zealand. We will be focusing on his legendary single vineyard bottlings of Piedmonte, from the stunning 2013 vintage. With Angelo's daughters taking over the Estate there is a change in attitude, and we see this vintage designated as Barolo and Barbaresco for the first time in 20 years.
We will be tasting, GAJA Sito Moresco 2014, Darmagi 2013, Conteisa Barolo 2013, Sperss Barolo 2013, Barbaresco 2014, Costa Russi Barbaresco 2013, Sori Tilden Barbaresco 2013, Sori San Lorenzo Barbaresco 2013.
As a special treat, we will also be joined by the team from Well Hung Artisan Butchery in Milford who specialise in long dry aging. They will be showcasing some special cuts of their premium dry aged meat to match with these wines.
Krug is the Rolls Royce of Champagne. Every wine they make is a Prestige Cuvée, and they're priced to match, drunk by connoisseurs, celebrities and royalty for almost 200 years. Tonight our Fine Wine manager Regan McCaffery will lead us through an in depth look at almost their entire range. Starting with the majestic multi vintage Grand Cuvee Edition 167. Then we taste the 21st Edition of the sublime Krug Rose. Next up is the iconic Krug Vintage 2004, followed by the extremely rare Krug Collection 1989 en Magnum! We finish with one of the world greatest Blanc de Blancs, the legendary Krug Clos du Mesnil 2004. A fabulous evening with arguably the worlds greatest Champagne House.
The mythical Champagne Salon is one of the world's greatest wines. Created by one man, they only make one wine, from one village, one variety, and only ever produced in exceptional vintages. The 2008 is only the 38th vintage to be released since the inaugural 1921. 100% Chardonnay from Les Mesnil-sur-Oger in the heart of the Cote des Blancs, the 2008 is the smallest harvest, and possibly the greatest ever at Salon. Only 8000 Magnums were produced, available to purchase only in the Oenotheque case, along with special late disgorged versions of the 2004, 2006 and 2007. We have special permission to open one just for this event. This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to try all four of these wines together. We will also be tasting the stunning new 2012 vintage release from Salon's sister house of Delamotte. Our Fine Wine manager and Salon aficionado, Regan McCaffery, will lead us through the history and stories behind this legendary champagne.
GROWLERS
The interesting product of Nelson Sauvin and Simcoe, the grapey, gooseberry and grapefruity qualities of NS marrying the earthy, woody quality of Simcoe to create a welcoming and approachable, medium bodied yet spritzy low alcohol beverage.
Biscuity pilsner malt and distinctive Motueka and Riwaka hops bringing aromas of lemon and lime. Nelson Sauvin for a tart gooseberry hit. Straw coloured appearance, brilliantly clear, with a long lasting white head. Crisp and bitter. Medium dry finish.
This hazy refreshing wheat ale is bursting with spice, banana and clove aromas. Rich, thick and creamy with a dry and crisp finish.
Pale golden colour with a foamy white head. Light biscuity malt notes carry the hops. A mix of American Citra and NZ Cascade hops give the beer a bright and vibrant citrus burst. Crisp and drinkable. Lower in alcohol than most IPAs.
Chocolate Milk Stout with Raspberries. A chocolate fish (chocolate covered marshmallow in the shape of a fish) in beer form.
