Kirkness & Gorie

Since 1859: fine wine, artisan cheese, Orkney whisky, beer and other goodies in the heart of Orkney's historic capital.

Wine a MAGNUM of @Tinpothut Sauvignon Blanc! All you need to do is search for a few words in the latest Living Orkney magazine. No need to search for good Kiwi Sauv Blanc...we currently have 14 on our shelves! #nzwine #sauvblanc @nzwineeurope

Free Gjetost cheese today in @KirknessGorie to anyone who asks for it in Norwegian! https://t.co/q6rjgmfjuP

Drink #sauvblanc like a Viking! (Not as wild as it sounds...) #nzwine @nzwineeurope @Tinpothut @SeresinEstate @CloudyBay @GladstoneVy https://t.co/c8ETdjrWx5

It's no longer #sauvignonblancday but it is #sauvignonblancsaturday! We're still exploring SB from various NZ regions in our Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down challenge: @GladstoneVy @trinityhillwine @Waipara_Springs and Crowded House... @nzwineeurope #sauvblanc

[Kirkness & Gorie @KirknessGorie]

We weren't going to start till 12, but seeing as Caroline, Orkney's Queen of SB, came in at 1130, we kicked off early! She placed @winemarlborough correctly, had a decent stab at @HawkesBay_Wine but not @WairarapaWines1 or @WineCanterbury. @nzwineeurope #sauvignonblancday

[Kirkness & Gorie @KirknessGorie]

It’s not #sauvblanc day without #nzwine! And #becausegreentastesbetter in more ways than one! @vegware @nzwineeurope

[Kirkness & Gorie @KirknessGorie]

Happy #sauvignonblancday! There are great SB's from many parts of the world, but we're sticking with NZ - and exploring ITS many parts! Pop in from noon today, or all day Saturday, for a tasting of SB's from Marlborough, Wellington Wine Country, Hawkes Bay and Waipara.

Oops, that should have been 1000 crew (better get some more glasses out...)

[Kirkness & Gorie @KirknessGorie]

The #Mervagilia cruised into Kirkwall harbour today, and we're offering everyone on board (4950 passengers and 100 crew) a tasting of @sileniwines Sauvignon Blanc! #nzwine #SauvBlanc @nzwineeurope

[Kirkness & Gorie @KirknessGorie]

It's the first of May! Which means it's the first day of our month-long celebration of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Watch our website and social media for a whirl of tastings, events and competitions! #nzwine #sauvblanc @nzwineeurope

@freshlook_Ryan As far as I know, the closest relation that came to Canada was a William Copland, father of the first Mrs Kirkness.
