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.

Caring 4 Smiles offers Good Oral Hygiene as the Key to Good Health.

Kids get early into "potty training" so they must also be "trained in plaque control". Many adults believe that baby teeth are disposable so why worry or invest in them. Baby molars drop by age 11, so they have every chance to rot and get abscessed, if they are not cared for from the earliest stages of childhood.
-
Dental abscesses send virulent bacteria coursing into the blood stream and these can cause rheumatic heart disease, heart valve damage, joint trouble and a lifetime of health issues. Simple and timely preventive oral hygiene eliminates all this misery.
-
At Caring 4 Smiles, our team of 3 Oral Therapists & Hygienists focus on children and adults to instill in them, good brushing and cleaning techniques. Alex, Zahraa & Teresa along with mum & dad, encourage the child, showing we are all on the same team and our joy is the beautiful smiles of growing children.
-
We are not contracted to the Health Department for "Free Child & adolescent Dentistry", but as every Kiwi knows, "You get what you pay for". Great preventive care that is individualized and tailored for YOUR darling child is cheaper in the long run of Life.
-
We started our Preventive Care program 25 years ago and have generations of children to prove that our program is the best in saving you all the heartache of toothache.

To know more about Preventive Dentistry at our Child friendly practice, just book your child in for their first visit by calling Caring 4 Smiles on 09-6315416 / email: caring4smiles@gmail.com
