I’d been in Blenheim for three days before another big night at Scotch, the epic wine bar in town where it’s easy to rack up quite a spectacular bill if you start attacking the amazing wine list there. This was Wednesday night’s haul with a great crew.<\/p>\n

These wines were all lovely. The Mount Edward Gamay<\/a> is a wine that I’ve only had at Scotch. We did the last two bottles they had, so we must have done half a case now. If you can find it, get some. It’s just so good: inky and fine with lovely perfume. The Kumeu River<\/a> Mat\u00e9’s Vineyard Chardonnay 2016 is an exceptional Chardonnay: world class and with a bight future ahead of it. I really likes the La Collina Syrah<\/a> from Bilancia in Hawke’s Bay, which is one of New Zealand’s very best. And Vajra! We revisited the 2011 Albe<\/a>, which is another Scotch favourite, which was deliciously poised. And the Ky\u00e8 Fresia is also nuanced and delicate, but not lacking flavour. And then it was time for some Dom – the 2009, current release<\/a>, quite delicious.<\/p>\n
