The Certificate in NZ Wine runs over 4 sessions and is followed by an Advanced programme of another 4 sessions.

This week we have enjoyed tasting and learning about innovative estates such as Burn Cottage from Central Otago, Heron’s Flight who make an exceptional Sangiovese in Matakana. Always a pleasure to taste the wines of Hans and Therese Herzog and we savoured the Mistral, a blend of 60% Viognier, 20% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne.

Te Mata’s Cape Crest showcases Hawkes Bay barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc and is interesting to compare with Sancerre from Henri Bourgeois also the owner of Clos Henri. Pegasus Bay’s Finale is New Zealand best example of a Sauternes style with deliciously ripe Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.

Learning about New Zealand’s wine geography and tasting some special wines along the way is always rewarding.

The wines that were tasted were -
- Hans Herzog Estate, Mistral 2016
- Burn Cottage Vineyard, Pinot Noir 2016
- Te Mata Estate Winery, Caupe Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2017
- Heron's Flight Vineyard - Matakana, Amphora Sangiovese 2016
- Pegasus Bay Winery, Finale 2017
- Henri Bourgeois Sancerre, 2018 (Clos Henri Vineyard)

Proposed Asset Sales - Emergency Budget

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

Here's another "gotcha" in council's Emergency Budget:

Here's another "gotcha" in council's Emergency Budget:
Auckland Council sells around $24 million of assets each year, but this time it is budgeting to sell an additional $200 million of assets = $224 million!

Attached are lists of parkland that council has identified to potentially sell.
From the Kaipātiki Local Board area it includes:
* Rosie Bolt Reserve - R25 Alfred Street, Northcote Point
* Rangatira Reserve - R105 Stott Avenue, Beach Haven
* Lynn Reserve - R107 Lynn Road, Bayview
* Land off Verbena Road, Birkdale (paper road on the bend?)

The list doesn't include land parcel numbers, only addresses, so it is difficult to tell whether council has identified whole parks, or parts of park for sale. It's also not clear why these particular parks have been identified, but in some cases could be purchase enquiries from neighbours.
Last year the Kaipatiki Local Board gazetted all park parcels under the Reserves Act and is currently developing an Open Space Management Plan (RMP) for them, so council will have a fight on its hands to sell any of them. But it's still not good news to see them listed as candidates for sale.

Please have your say on the budget here: akhaveyoursay.nz/emergency-budget
Consultation is open until 19 June.

Why a higher rates rise is right for Auckland

Todd Niall Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Hi Neighbours, We would all like to pay less for something - like a rates bill. But you get only what you pay for and the option of a 2.5 per cent rise instead of 3.5, brings risk. What do you think? Read the story below:
