More on Wine, Foodography and Winter Classes

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

It's been fun putting together a selection of 40 classic wines and preparing sets of questions to test our teams of winelovers.

We have used Kahoot! which has been enormously successful as a electronic quiz platform in these Covid times. It adds the results instantly and takes away the risk of calculation errors plus the backend provides detailed analytics on who got the answers to how many seconds it took to answer correctly. We know that of the 24 teams the highest scores were 75% correct with over 8 teams achieved above 68% correct. I can see we will use this platform for sometime!

It seems that interest in wines and spirits programmes is also bounding upwards and we have had record enrolments for all our wine classes including WSET Wine and Spirit Education Trust from UK.

This week I had the results of the latest WSET Level 2 Certificate in Wine and with a class of 20 students, 60% gained distinction, a pass of over 85%. Exciting.

Our NZQA Certificate in NZ Wine Micro-Credential is also going for strength to strength and we are about to start offering Corporate & Team Building wine options so that you can get together a group of 8 people and we will run a private programme.

New Zealand wines are much more diverse that most people imagine and it's a great thrill to be able to share lesser-known wineries and underrated regions with our participants as they taste through the wine selection. For more information, email admin@foodandwine.co.nz.

Coming up we have the Winter Forage with Riki Bennett which provides an opportunity to explore our native flora along with innovation around urban hāngi kai-cookery techniques. The FOODOGRAPHY Dinner is back and this year our theme is a Midwinter Christmas Dinner. Both events are part of Auckland's Elemental Festival.

On Sunday 1st August, we host the NZ Sommelier of the Year Awards along with wine tasting events and a Gastronomic Dinner prepared by Chef Finn and our students.

Lost cat

She is an inquisitive, indoor cat and this is the first time she left the safety of her garden. She hates cold temperatures, so she may have found a warm place in your garage, shed or underfloor. Appreciate if you can look for her or keep an eye. Last few nights has been very cold. We are very concerned for her safety. She has a pink collar but it is easily detachable. Her name tag shows " Annie". She is microchipped. If you see her or find her, please ring 021 1850167 or 021 0324845. Thank you.

Hello,

Please check out this survey that is investigating stray cats within Central Auckland. This research aims to better understand the attitudes of people, including cat owners, stray cat carers, and the general public, towards stray cats and to collect accurate GPS locations and abundance of stray cat colonies within Central Auckland. This study is purely investigative, and there is no intention to interfere with or remove any cats. Please be assured that specific locations of the cat colonies will not be published in any public media.



You can share your opinions and knowledge in this short survey: survey.zohopublic.com...



Please note: It is recognised that not all stray cat carers are comfortable sharing exact colony locations. Therefore, the questions in the survey on the exact locations of the colonies have been made optional so that you can still provide other information, including health status and opinions.

If you are looking for something easy, fun and FREE to do this holidays with the kids…… or without, try Heard Park in Parnell.
For the winter season an illuminated installation called “Mountain of Light” has been brought to life. This sculpture consists of stunning columns that form a giant pyramid shape and not only do they change colour but they flow through different tone and saturation intensities. This sculpture photographs most beautifully (in my opinion) just before dark.
Poppy and I were lucky enough to stumble across the installation in perfect time for FREE hot chocolate with marshmallows on a chilly Friday night last week!
If you missed out last Friday, a company called The Tin Man will be there for another two Fridays (16th and 23rd July) handing out delicious hot drinks to lucky park goers from 5pm - 7:30pm.

Was anyone else lucky enough to make it last Friday or any other night to take some great images?
Pretty sure we will be back!
