Yesterday I had the privilege of taking legendary drummer Ronnie Tutt and his lovely wife, Donna, for a long lunch and wine tasting at Providence Vineyard. Ronnie played with Elvis from 1969 until he passed away in 1977 and has been playing with Neil Diamond since 1981. WOW!!! Together with Jim Vuletic, the stories traded across the table were incredible and the wines more than lived up to the stories told.

Have just tried the Pyramid Valley 2009 Kerner Pinot Blanc. And I need to go and lie down. It is another Weersing classic. Nothing like it. And nothing will ever be the same again. Is this for real? Please, please make sure you taste this sensation soon. Cheers. SK-R :-)  

Great first Blog. I think/hope!
Mark Wallbank who owns and runs Rocco on Ponsonby Road has just told us that his pick of all the wines they served in 2010 is our very own Ma Maiosn 2008 Pinot Noir.
We're SOLD OUT and on to the wondeful 2009 - a little more refined / elegant.
So Cheers to Mark & the team at Rocco :-) Check them out on : www.rocco.co.nz
