w/e06 (saturday) - Marlborough Wine Festival
We extended this weekend with some annual leave and flew down to Blenheim in the Marlborough region to meet my parents for the infamous Marlborough Wine Festival. We spent the Thursday and Friday touring round the winerie’s celler doors sampling the wines on offer.
The actual Festival was on Saturday, at the Brancott Estate Winery, where again we sampled more wine. The day was goregous and we spent the most of it sitting on a blanet in the sun drinking wine and eating some reall nice food. There were a couple of NZ music acts playing like Nathan Haines and Koru but it all got a bit blurry towards the end. Nearly a perfect day if I didnt get a full glass of wine spilt on me by some random drunk guy who was struggling to stand up.
Nice, a lamb shank and a glass of Marlborough’s finest Sav.
