@Hansithekiwi @EmmsieR @HotelduVinbrand @ChampagneDevaux Nice line up Hansi. Congrats on the seven year anniversary. You got any more of the 07s stashed away?

[Paul Mason @MVPinot]

@Hansithekiwi Nice to hear from you Hansi. Hope things are going well. 2007 was a very small but very good vintage. Hope you enjoyed it

Sitting down with a nice bottle of Neudorf Pinot to watch the @blackcaps. Let’s go boys, seize the moment. #backtheblackcaps #cwc2019

Great to meet you Yannick and Heidi. Enjoy the rest of the trip and look forward to catching up in NY sometime.

Great visit at Martinborough Vineyard where it was the first winery to plant Pinot Noir in the region and has some of the oldest vines in the district. The wines are exceptional and it… https://t.co/lYupJcfSGL

One of the first to put Pinot on NZ wine map https://t.co/yCrWhCDRlQ

@xx_kiwi_G_xx @TorbreckBarossa @LarryMcPinot Yes had that in the line up. Impressive wine. Loved the fruit concentration to tannin balance in the whole line up. Quite different to what we normally drink round here so good to get out of our comfort zone.

[Paul Mason @MVPinot]

Lovely tasting and insight into one of Martinborough’s newest vineyard owners @torbreckbarossa. Haven’t drunk this much Barossa in a long time. Thanks @LarryMcPinot.

@lukedukeshore yeah it is. Variation is super frustrating with corks. Really noticeable if you are hand corking bottles. Odd one feels spongy and slips through corker really easy.

[Paul Mason @MVPinot]

@lukedukeshore bugger. Bit of cork variation in that vintage. Got any more left?
