21.The two sons of Kym, the winemaker at Torlesse Winery in Waipara, helping with the Pinot noir crush. Kym gave us a great winery tour in addition to a great tasting at the “cellar door” (tasting room). Waipara is NZ’s fastest-growing wine region, and it was totally delightful: small, rural, friendly, a little quirky, in a beautiful setting, many wineries with integrated restaurants or cafes, and making interesting & good wines in a variety of styles (it feels like it’s still defining its style and hasn’t homogenized yet, which was great). Feels like how people talk about Sonoma before we were born.
