THE MIGHTY WAIKATO

Gifts From The Sea
I’m writing this just as Auckland has come out of Level-3 for the third (and hopefully the last) time.

Bar Bites / Napier (Bistronomy)
You’d expect Napier – nestled as it is in the heart of Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand’s oldest and second-most abundant wine region – to be bursting with good wine bars where people who are passionate about wine can help visitors and locals alike to taste and buy the region’s world-class wine in relaxed, classy surroundings.
