/ new red kiwifruit /

i just heard about the new kiwifruit variety on the news and it looks quite interesting. i also heard that there's an overabundance of wine grapes since the recession. we went to the wine and food festival this weekend and ended up getting an entire box of wine! 6 bottles are tukipo terrace's 2008 fat duck pinot noir, one of which we drank on saturday night - so yum! another 4 bottles are unison vineyard's pinot gris and the last two are dessert reds from johner estate. i'm looking forward to trying them all.. again :)

speaking of vineyards, we've booked visits to a few places in the hawkes bay in our search for wedding venues. should be a good day!
