Back from Australia | Fiasco!

https://fiascowines.wordpress.com/2010/07/29/back-from-australia

We’ve returned from a trip to Australia that involved a mixture of business and pleasure. It began with a random meeting with John Key at the Blenheim airport – he came over for a chat…only in New Zealand! Responses to “Back from Australia”. Feed for this Entry. April 23, 2011 at 2:32 am. I totally concur – I definitely prefer NZ to Australia too! I experienced that when I flew back into Chch after visiting Aus on one of the school holidays. Driving back up along the coast to Blenheim, and passing by...

Coming out of the vintage haze… | Fiasco!

https://fiascowines.wordpress.com/2010/05/19/coming-out-of-the-vintage-haze

Coming out of the vintage haze…. Well I’ve reached an all time low in blogging efforts – almost down to one a month! The months of March, April and May are always very busy for us as Aaron works fulltime for Indevin (an independent wine making company) and his hours are long. As a consequence we feel like we are the bloke on our logo – running on a moving wine barrel, only we need to get that wine glass back in hand! Response to “Coming out of the vintage haze…”.

Recovering from shock | Fiasco!

https://fiascowines.wordpress.com/2008/10/10/recovering-from-shock

A number of you have been asking when you can get your mits on some wine to try. I need to warn you about something called bottle shock. We hope to have our website up and running soon so you can order wine from there. And to the neighbours who we had the joy of taking some over to yesterday – don’t drink it just yet! Responses to “Recovering from shock”. Feed for this Entry. October 10, 2008 at 11:18 am. To say I was mad was the understatement of the century! November 12, 2008 at 9:24 am. You are commen...

A beautiful day for bud rubbing | Fiasco!

https://fiascowines.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/a-beautiful-day-for-bud-rubbing

A beautiful day for bud rubbing. Awoke to a gorgeous day and even better it’s Marlborough Anniversary Day! Marlborough is currently second only to Auckland in its population. Growth and on a day like today I can see why people would want to live here. The environment here has always been attractive to people in terms of lifestyle, but the wine industry is now providing the jobs to make it a realistic possibility for folk to live here. I took to the Wither Hills for a walk…. Feed for this Entry. DESIGNED,...

Injury fiasco to kick off vintage | Fiasco!

https://fiascowines.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/injury-fiasco-to-kick-off-vintage

Injury fiasco to kick off vintage. Aaron is now on night shift…got a text from him Saturday night saying:. 8220;At hos hurt hand got 11 stitches, may need skin graft, all good tho, dont panic.”. He is of course aware that I’m prone to panic when anyone gets injured! I thought he might of had some time off but it was straight back from hospital to the winery (I still blame Buck Shelford … Aaron has long been in awe of his continuing to play rugby with a torn scrotum!

Breaking the law – possum fiasco | Fiasco!

https://fiascowines.wordpress.com/2008/11/09/breaking-the-law-possum-fiasco

Breaking the law – possum fiasco. Well the election is over and all our kids wanted to know about the prospective leaders was what their party’s possum policy was. Responses to “Breaking the law – possum fiasco”. Feed for this Entry. November 10, 2008 at 4:55 pm. That is so unbelievably gorgeous! We found a possum once – apparently Dad killed it with a broom after chasing it round the room for a while. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder😉. November 10, 2008 at 7:07 pm.

It’s mid November and we are having 30 degree days already – it seems that spring has quickly been bypassed by summer and you can almost see the vines growing. We have a bit of bud rubbing.

Fiasco! | Looking for balance … | Page 2

https://fiascowines.wordpress.com/page/2

Ready, set, GO! The fruit is ripening and vintage is almost upon us…the calm before the storm is about to come to an end! My mission to get Archie to sleep while passing bird bangers is no easy feat and my aim to burn a few kilojoules in the process is un-done by my obligation to taste test the crop. And the grapes do taste good! Archie thinks so too…. 8220;Mmmmm grassy tones …. 8230;definitely too sour yet…. 8220;Right O, I’m done taste testing – let me out of here”. All this made me pick up the recent.
