GLASS HIGHLIGHTS

Subject to availability*

Luna Estate Blue Rock Pinot Noir 2020 Martinborough

Imagine an early-morning walk through the woods, dew clinging to the foliage and the scent of damp earth and fallen leaves rising from the forest floor. Luna Blue Rock Pinot Noir 2020 from Martinborough evokes that same sense of quiet immersion. Dark, savoury and mouth-filling, it envelops the palate—a wine that brings me pure pleasure.

Louis Roederer Vintage 2014

This one of my faves, it makes luxury feel within reach. Clean but calculated, Precise and considered rather than showy. It has all the sense of occasion, yet never feels like a bottle that must be saved for a grand celebration. For me, that is its charm: special enough to mark a milestone, but just as welcome on a quiet Saturday evening. It turns an ordinary moment into something lovely—a reminder that pleasure does not always need an occasion.

Smith & Sheth Heretaunga Chardonnay

This is the kind of Chardonnay I love: generous and creamy, with stone fruit, citrus and toasty oak bringing both comfort and character to the glass. For me, the appeal is in that meeting of richness and brightness—indulgent, but never just about weight. It is a wine to savour rather than hurry, and one that reminds me why Chardonnay so often wins my heart.
