That really brought back some memories. A huge night at Bardeaux Queenstown, then I ended up finding the vineyard and buying a case.

@Snowy The main Gibbston winery? Valli do great Pinot one of my favourites. Pretty sure I have a couple of 10 or so year old Bannockburn - might have to open one tonight.
Their winemaker is the current Gourmet Traveller Mag Winemaker of the year.

Yeah, but it was a bit weird and next door. Kinross? They have about 4 vineyards I think? Gibbston was the one we found - not sure if the others have a cellar door?

Since we've moved back to wine and since I'm in Central Otago, what are your favourite cellar doors to visit? The view from Rippon is magic on a sunny day, what others put on a better experience?
Margrain Vineyard in the rapa is magnificent, well actually they're all varying degrees of awesome to be fair.

Tom Tusher's Amisfield. Great food and a really good Pinot Noir. Down by Lake Hayes, more of a restaurant than cellar door but worth a visit.

You're not wrong! But I can holiday down in Central Otago at a drop of a hat. Why don't you pop over for a wine...... oh hang on.... locals only!

Love Amisfield. When we were in self iso in QT they took a phone order off me, then came out to the car and chucked the box in the boot when I arrived. Quality.
