Kumeu River
Chardonnay, Maté’s Vineyard, Kumeu – 2010
Wine Enthusiast
93 points, Cellar Selection
"...Consistent acid line and persistent finish, while retaining all of the typical Chardonnay flourishes. Roastednut notes impart an almost nougat-like nuance to the fruit flavors of citrus and white peach."
Domaines Leflaive
Mâcon-Verzé – 2012
The Mâcon-Verzé is a wine of great purity, both floral and mineral, expressing a lively energy, ready to be enjoyed earlier than the wines of Puligny-Montrachet.
Schramsberg Vineyards
Blanc de Blancs, North Coast – 2011
This wine’s aromas of green apple, pear, grapefruit and lime are complemented by candied citrus and fresh-from-the-oven bread. Generous flavors of grapefruit, lime and pineapple are present. The palate is crisp with a long, tangy, refreshing acidity.
Pierre Sparr
Gewurztraminer, Mambourg, AOC Alsace Grand Cru – 2011
Aromas of rose and violet are followed by pear and brioche. With aeration the bouquet adds butter and lemony notes. On the palate, this is classic Gewurztraminer with a generous sweetness. A spicy, licorice-touched finish completes this elegant wine.

“It contrasts the oak flavor of its native yeast fermentation in barrel with the spiciness of chardonnay skins, and melds the creaminess of full malolactic fermentation with fresh acidity that has the snap of parsnips."
Kumeu River
Chardonnay, Hunting Hill, Kumeu – 2009
Wine & Spirits

"It's the fruitiest of these Kumeu River releases, with scents of caramelized pineapple and orange surrounded by the leesiness of a native yeast fermentation in barrel. Broad and toasty, this would match salmon roasted on cedar planks."

Chardonnay, Estate, Kumeu – 2009
Wine & Spirits

"From the Brajkovich family estate outside of Auckland, this wine has the sweet perfume of fresh cream from grass-fed cows. It's soft, with a peppery edge and the savor of corn silk. Then it ends with enough tension to match a salmon soufflé."

Wine Enthusiast
Island Kitchen
"The Wine: Shawn LaRue, consulting wine director at the spa recommends Schramsberg's J. Schram Rose from Califorinia's North Coast to pair with the dish. The sparkling wine is 'a perfect textural match for the tofu, tomato and egg salad with passion fruit', LaRue says."

Château Simard
Saint-Émilion – 2004
Wine & Spirits
88 points
"Simard is released as a ten-year-old wine, when it's mature and ready to drink. This vintage is lean and peppery, still firmly structured, with a lot of barnyard funk. If you don't mind Brett, it's a classical red for lamb."

Red Wine, Napa Valley – 2011
The 2011 Double Eagle displays aromas and flavors of cedar, caramelized anise, cassis, cocoa, sage and green olive. The wine is shy at first; it then expands to a lovely full symphony of licorice, lavender and black currants.
