Wineletter #268 November - December 2020

Some say it’s not wise to work with family; however, as Croatian settlers this is how we established our livelihood and managed to stay united as one. This way of life is all I know, coming into the business as a young adult and being surrounded by good people willing to pass down a dedicated working ethic. I have come to learn that Glengarry have always been the tellers of a story, and have founded a culture involving a passion for wine here in Aotearoa. We are traders of history and tradition in a glass, to be shared in good company, whether it be standing around the barrel in one of our stores or at the dinner table. This makes us akin to the people and families behind the brands we share, who devote their lives to producing and curating their craft. - Aroha Jakicevich
