Back by popular demand, we have our second annual ‘Luck of the Irish’ pre St Patrick’s Day tasting! What a fantastic night we had last year, and it will be even better with our very special guest speaker, Jenny Maguire, from the highly awarded and influential Glendalough distillery in scenic County Wicklow, Ireland. Jenny will be beguiling us through three of their very best, handmade, artisanal Irish whiskies, further highlighting their successes on the world whiskey stage, and why smooth, fragrant, unctuously soft Irish whiskey is still the fastest growing spirit in the world. We will then taste another five of the very best Whiskeys that Ireland has to offer with the best informed blarney from our own resident Irishman, raconteur and whiskey Ambassador, Michael Black. This will be a tasting not to be missed and will sell out faster than we can say Uisce Beatha (water of life) so grab your tickets as fast as you can! What we will be tasting on the night: Glendalough Triple Barrel Irish Single Malt Whiskey. Glendalough Grand Cru Burgundy Cask Irish Single Malt Whiskey Glendalough 13 Year Old Mizunara Finish Irish single Malt Whiskey The Dubliner Liberties Copper Alley Irish Whiskey The Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey Bushmills Red Bush Irish Whiskey Bushmills Steamship Port Cask Irish Whiskey. We look forward to seeing you at what will be a memorable night of mirth, blarney and great crac!

Join us for an unforgettable masterclass Whisky tasting with… Rob Gray from the highly awarded, iconic Arran Distillery from the magical Isle of Arran, Argyll, Scotland. It gives me great pleasure in inviting you to come along and be amongst the first lucky NZ Whisky fans to taste the stunning new range of handcrafted, artisanal Arran Single Malt Whiskies, with their stylish new look. This will be the very first tasting of the venerable Barrel Reserve, Sherry Cask and 21 year old Whisky expressions in NZ and we will be skilfully informed of their many, myriad of charms and qualities by Arran's own Rob Gray - Export Manager, who is flying into NZ for a very brief visit. Since it opened in 1995 Arran has been one of the great guiding lights of the Scottish Whisky trade and has won many awards and accolades, including their selection to distill for the Burns Society of Scotland. Tickets are strictly limited, so be very quick to grab yours, for what will be a memorable night, before all of the other Scottish Whisky aficionados get them! Products to be tasted on the night: Arran Barrel Reserve. Arran 10 year old. Arran Sherry Cask. Arran Quarter Cask. Arran 18 year old. Arran 21 year old. Arran Machrie Moor Peated cask strength.

Te Mata Showcase

6:00pm, 11 March 2020 - 8:30pm, 11 March 2020

Lunn Ave

Back again at Fine Wine Delivery is New Zealand’s most important annual tasting, the Te Mata Showcase. This 2018 Showcase is spearheaded by yet another exceptional Coleraine, massively concentrated and very approachable, it still retains the structure that Coleraine is known for. Our panel enjoyed a private tasting with the Buck family some weeks back and were again impressed with the level of quality across the board. You can expect to see excellent critics scores emerging in the next couple of weeks, but these Showcase evenings are the time for you to taste for yourself before committing to acquiring these great wines… and to secure your Coleraine in particular, as with insatiable export and domestic demand, it sells out very quickly these days. Both evenings will be hosted by Kate Hunter, Brand Ambassador and part of the Winemaking team at Te Mata. We look forward to seeing you there! The tasting lineup will include... Te Mata Estate Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Te Mata Estate Elston Chardonnay 2018 Te Mata Estate Alma Pinot Noir 2018 Te Mata Estate Bullnose Syrah 2018 Te Mata Estate Awatea 2018 Te Mata Estate Coleraine 2018
