Some beautiful sunny days ahead! We have food trucks at our w**e bar tonight and all weekend. For tonight and Sunday night, Food by Sach and George will be here with their Trailer of Asia menu, featuring the pictured Korean sticky ribs from the classic menu but also special Asian inspired tacos. If you’re looking for some dumplings or other Japanese favourites, catch Sasa express here for lunch and dinner on Friday, and they will be back again on Saturday night.

Another spring bruschetta is now on the menu — whipped ricotta, pickled courgettte, pistachio and vadouvan. Building from a slice of Minghettis sourdough, we start with Viavio Cheese ricotta from Nelson, whipped with cream and lemon zest until it’s nice and silky, with ribbons of pickled courgette to cut through the richness. Then pistachio oil elevates the green, spring flavours of the courgette, and vadouvan, a mild French spice mix of aromatic spices and fried shallots, brings everything together with a complex, fragrant lift. This bruschetta is perfect as a vegetarian option, but for those wanting a little more savoury kick, fried prosciutto crumb can be added on request.

New w**es by the glass! Firstly, the Adegas Adegas Gran Vinum Albariño — we put this one on the list after it surprised us in one of our w**e club blind tastings. Aromatically, most tasters thought Gewürztraminer, with its powerful pear and lychee flavours, but on the palate, it’s juicy, with the fresh acidity you would expect from Albariño. Our red glass pour is 100% Syrah from the Côtes du Rhône, produced by the well-established family w**ery Chateau De Saint Cosme in Gigondas. This is a pure fruited expression, fermented and matured in concrete, that despite the dark flavour notes — blackberry, black plum, black pepper — has a real sense of vitality and freshness on the palate. We have a curated list of guest w**es by the glass and bottle, but if you do have something special in your cellar at home that you would like to try in our w**e bar, we also offer BYO.

It’s always a sign that spring is here when we can put our tomato bruschetta back on the menu. We think of this bruschetta more as a caprese salad on toast, with a beautiful slice of Minghettis sourdough playing host to the classic mozzarella, tomato and basil combination, where the excellent mozzarella from Viavio Cheese is just as important as beautifully sweet cherry tomatoes (given a bit of a helping hand with some nice white balsamic).

Just while they are in season, a quick popup bruschetta before we switch things up for our spring/summer menu. Brussels sprouts, shaved finely, charred to both bring out and balance their sweetness, then seasoned with white balsamic, lemon zest, peppery olive oil and aromatic Kampot peppercorns. Mounded on top of creamy stracciatella from Viavio Cheese then studded with fried lardons of prosciutto and finished with a touch of grated parmigiano Reggiano. Goes perfectly with a glass of our Southern Valleys Syrah.

Bright, fruity with a little bit of spice — our Jalapeño Paloma is a riff on a classic paloma cocktail. We make a syrup inhouse with local Lothlorien lavender honey and spicy jalapeños to add heat and sweetness to the classic paloma flavours of tequila, lime juice and pink grapefruit. It’s a longer drink that’s perfect for these warm and sunny days of early spring.

It’s great to have Food by Sach and George back, and this week they are serving their Trailer of Mediterranean menu — delicious souvlaki, iskender, loaded hummus, and homemade tiramisu. Available dine-in at our w**e bar or takeaway from 5PM Thursday and Sunday. Sasa.express are also back this week on Saturday, so if you don’t feel like cooking, we have you covered!

Our w**e tasting club event is on again next Tuesday. For full info check out our eventfinda page. If you want to know what you’re missing, last time the w**es everyone brought included... Rioja, red Bordeaux, Viognier, a whole range of Chardonnays, from classic Burgundian style from Nelson, strong American oak from California to stainless steel carbonic maceration from Marlborough. A Melon de Bourgogne from Soif W**e Shop was very drinkable, an ultra pale rose caused a fair bit of debate about colour, a student Gewürztraminer w**e from Lincoln made from one of our ex cellar door team members snuck into the lineup, and let’s not forget the 1er cru burg from Monthélie. Cheers!

Haere mai ia ki te whare waina o Tāone iti. Ka whakamātauria tā mātou miti totetote, tihi, parāoa me waina. Anō te reka o te kai nei.

Come to the Small Town W**ery. Try our salami, cheese, bread and w**e. How tasty this food is!

It is Te Wiki o Te Reo. For the last three years I have been studying with Te Ataarangi part time. It is hard but so rewarding to learn this beautiful language of this place. I offer my sentences to encourage you too to give it a go.
