Various posts relocated to nztebs

Simon has wisely suggested that some of my recent posts are better suited for my nztebs blog, my tech/professional/personal development blog rather than here on our family/leisure blog or over at unplain-Jane which is of course my creative blog. So many blogs. Anyway, the list of relocated entries is below with links to their new home.

Ascension “The Ascent” Reserve Chardonnay 2005

This is a big wine from Matakana (an hour north of Auckland) and one that we should really have consumed about 12-18 months ago and not in June 2009.  We have previously really enjoyed this wine, however it has now turned to being a touch acidic and the alcohol and French oak is now starting to overpower the fruit.  It is still quite drinkable but if you still have any of this vintage I suggest, unless you have great cellaring conditions, you drink it now.
