The Sanity Clause

Well I’m still catching up on writing about stuff that I’ve done recently. A few weekends now, some friends, Sibylle, Brian and Ferrida, and I hired a house in Martinborough for the weekend. It was a fantastic place - built from an old grocery store. We got there on the Saturday, dumped our stuff at the house and then went to Alana Winery for some lunch and a bit of wine tasting.

It was then onto a couple more wineries, Te Kairanga and Ata Rangi. I’ve not really drunk much wine since I’ve been here so it was nice to final taste a few different ones - okay - alot of different ones.

Sibylle and Brian prepared cooked us a fabulous meal of venison and blueberries. I’m not usually a fan of meat and fruit but it worked together really well. Ferrida and I did chocolate fondue which was really fun.

The next day we packed up and went for a walk to the Pinnacles, which are these unusual gravel rock formations. We went back for some lunch in Martinborough before heading home.
