Spring at Gladstone Vineyard - blossom, frosts, fine food, wine and music
A quick hi from a beautiful blossom-filled Gladstone Vineyard. Isn't it nice to see the days get longer? Some reminders...
- Another long lazy lunch
This Sunday 20 September at the Gladstone Vineyard Cafe with Life of Riley playing 12.30 - 3.30. Relax in the promised sun at Gladstone Vineyard (what else!) and enjoy their eclectic mix of folk, country, blues, jazz and soft pop.
Book now, call 06 379 8563, or email us.
- Beautiful wines...
Have you tried our Sophie's Choice yet? A superb barrel fermented and aged Sauvignon Blanc, only 40 cases of this wine were made, so make sure you get some while you can! Only available to our cellar door and newsletter customers.
The Gladstone Vineyard Viognier 2008 (5 star winner in Cuisine magazine) is almost finished. Get some now, before you miss out...
How about a mixed case of Sophie's Choice and Viognier? A perfect combination in the lead up to Summer. Remember free delivery and 10% discount apply for case orders.
Come and see us at the vineyard, call us on 06 379 8563 or email us to get yours.
- Mmmmm, scallops
Check out the spring additions to Zane's menu. The scallops are to die for... and go so well with the Gladstone Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc! Book now.
- Frost patrol
Sympathise with Kyle and his vineyard crew (that includes me!) as we watch the temperatures fall on the frosty spring nights. We've already had an unprecedented six frosts in a row, and there are more forecast this weekend (and the week after). The vineyards are a busy time in the middle of these cold nights, with the vineyard staff out in their swandris and beanies, checking windmills, water frost systems, walking round with thermometers, checking computer screens and keeping awake and warm with coffees (and more!). Lets hope there are not too many more.
Yours aye,
