"No it's Friday"
"Oh, OK"
It's a great holiday when you actually don't know what day it is.
We popped out to the new house today to get a quote done, then took the opportunity to call at Abbey Cellars vineyard for lunch on the way back.
Why, well New World in Havelock North have several Merlot, Cabs, Malbecs from Abbey and they have been very good so we thought a trip to Bridge Pa was in order.
After a tasting we had some Rosé with cheese board and got talking to the owner who is a farmer by trade and a self developed winemaker. Riesling was picked yesterday and Chardonnay is due to be picked soon. The reds will stay on for a bit longer yet. He agreed that 2013 may surpass 2009 and 2006 vintages due to the everlasting summer. We bought some 2006 as that us not available in New World.
Back at the bach now but, hassle hassle, just off to help a bloke, no idea who he is, launch his boat off the back of a tractor into the sea "OK, I'm on my way, this ain't my full time job you know".
