For centuries, dry rosé wine has been a staple in the south of France, where it has long been considered the best wine to enjoy day and night beside the sea. Provence is the heart of the world’s rose production, and also home to one of it's finest examples in Château Léoube. Their organic and biodynamic vineyard is set by the sea, and are made by 4th generation rosé winemaker Romain Ott. The Domaine and Château are owned by Lord and Lady Bamford who famously founded Daylesford Organic – one of the UK’s most sustainable farms – over forty years ago. These are some of the finest pink wines in the world, and we are very proud to represent them here in New Zealand. This tasting will be presented by their Sales manager Wilfried Sentex, and will cover a full range of four Cotes du Provence Rosé, from a sparkling through to the special $60 Collector Lalonde Rosé. We will also taste their three exemplary red wines that are new to the country.

For many serious wine loves, the top Malbec in the world is made by Achaval-Ferrer. Situated in the best hilltop viineyards of Mendoza, they are very much the first family of Argentinean wine. Their vines are pre-phylloxera with an average age of 107 years! Very high density planting with very low yields.The vineyard is irrigated the traditional way, with water channels. In the winery there are no addtions or interventions, these are extremely pure. The style of Achaval-Ferrer wines is a balance of ripeness and natural acidity for freshness. These are much more elegant and refined Malbecs than you might have tried previously, a bridge between the old world and the new world. We have their director Julio Lasmartres here to present these incredible wines. We will be tasting Achaval-Ferrer Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Cabernet Franc 2016, Malbec 2017, Quimera 2014. We will finish with their three legendary single vineyard Malbecs, where it takes 3 vines to produce just one bottle. Finca Mirador 2013, Finca Bella Vista 2013 and Finca Altamira 2014.

This is always our most highly anticipated tasting of the year, the chance to dress up and try the world's greatest Champagnes head to head! Prestige or Luxury Cuvee's are the finest blend a House can make, no expense spared with every aspect tended by hand. We have another spectacular line-up planned this year with lots of new wines. Hosted by our Champagne expert and Fine Wine Manager Regan McCaffery, he will take us through the history and stories of these incredible bottles. We will be starting with the Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires 2004, the first time this has been released since the legendary 1995. Then two of the most wanted new releases from the 2008 vintage, one of the greatest in the last 20 years. Louis Roederer Cristal 2008 and Dom Perignon 2008 Continuum edition. Then we will taste the wonderful but relatively unknown Mumm Cuvée R. Lalou 2002. Next a match up many have wanted to see, Krug Grande Cuvée v Henri Giraud MV10. We will finish with two incredible single variety bottles from pre-phylloxera vines. Tarlant La Vigne d'Antan Blanc de Blancs 2002, and a once in a lifetime chance to taste one of the rarest and greatest of all Champagnes, the mythical Bollinger Vielles Vignes Francaises Blanc de Noirs 2006. This wonderful event sells out every year so don't delay!

Glengarry Head Honcho Jak Jakicevich and GM Liz Wheadon both have their fixation. Jak is a committed fan of Single Malt whiskies, while Liz is a champagne fiend from way back. They are teaming up to take their respective obsessions on the road, perhaps in an attempt to justify them to the rest of NZ, or maybe they just want to share some gems they know about with those of you who don’t. Anyhow, there they both are, out on the road, taking it to the streets. Each of them will be flourishing the attributes of six of their favourites. Is it a duel? A face-off? We don’t know. Will it be entertaining and enlightening? Absolutely.
