Weekend away

Dean and I headed to Waiheke Island on the weekend to celebrate our 5th Wedding anniversary. We had a lovely time, although we missed Nathan who was at home with Nanny Mard and Poppa Dunc. They took him to the zoo and he had lots of fun. Will post some pics of his adventure when mum emails them.

One of the 26 or so vineyards on Waiheke Island. Dean wanted to track this one down after tasting one of their Merlot's and becoming a fan.


Getting to taste the Merlot grape before it get's harvested in three weeks time and turned into wine


Having a taste of the final product. They produce two different Merlot's and a Rose. By the way we are not wine snobs and really have no clue, but it was nice to see where it all happens. And like the guy there said, if you like the taste of an $80 bottle go for it, but if you like the taste of a $5 bottle nothing wrong with that, it's all about what you like! I agree.

Celebrating 5 years marriage, what an awesome 5 years it has been :-)
