For this chat, Pete and I had the distinct pleasure of sitting across the table from wine folk Pen Naish and Nicholas Brown of Black Estate. The monochrome cool of black and white might underpin this winery but colour oozes from every corner.Neither of these two started out destined for a job in wine but, like most vignerons in Aotearoa, wine found them. When Pen's Dad stood in a paddock in North Canterbury, the vibes felt right and a deep, honest discussion ensued around establishing a vineyard, winery and, as it happens, a restaurant. Ambitious? Yes. Achievable? Clearly. A considered black building, designed by architect Richard Naish – also a relative - stands stark on the rolling hills of a wine region known for being sometimes just a bit tricky. It acts as an anchor and it's fair to say this whanau are now well rooted to this special spot. Kids were raised here. Summers have been spent with secateurs in one hand and a barbecue tong in the other. Steve, the chocolate Labrador guards and greets all who come there. It's a blissful scene indeed but don't be fooled. This is no accident. These guys work their arses off and as certified organic growers and makers, their lives are spent managing sites that a lesser grower might politely decline. But this is where the rubber hits the road. Nicholas is an experimenter at heart and I suspect digs a challenge. Pen is razor-sharp and grounded. Together they generate a surge of energy that can be felt in the wines they make and the hospitality that is offered when you're parked up at the Black Estate restaurant – perhaps indulging in truffles sourced from the neighbour Jax at Kings Truffles but definitely always local produce. There was discussion mid chats of Pete and I lobbying for a second recording on site at Black Estate that just happens to coincide with truffle season. Logistics pending. Budget negotiations ongoing. Stand by…Of course we all know I'd spend most of my time cuddling the truffle dogs but that's just the sort of crazy dog person I am but I tell you what, for a region known for it's foraging parties and incredible organic produce, being parked up at Black Estate, eating some nosh, patting a dog and pushing a glass of earthy, supple Pinot Noir into my face sure does sound like a good idea for a work trip! So, shave a little perigord truffle on your pasta, pour yourself a delightful drink of something clean and fresh from north of Chch, this is the not serious Pen Naish and Nicholas Brown chat.not serious wine chats would like to thank our supporters:TradecraftBy the BottleAntipodes Water Co.

The eagle has landed. One of the police Eagle helicopters from Auckland is in Christchurch for the next two months as part of a crackdown on these criminal kids doing-over dairies and committing other crimes. I think it's brilliant that it's here and I think we need one here permanently. For several reasons: Christchurch is New Zealand's second-largest city; we have a level of criminal activity here to justify it; and it's not as if a police helicopter hasn't been put to good use here before. In 2020, it was in Christchurch for a five-week trial, and it was also used a few times earlier than that after the mosque attacks and when Prince William visited. During the trial in 2020, the helicopter was sent to 346 incidents ranging from a water rescue, a robbery attempt, and helping a man thought to be having a heart attack in a park. There was a bit of chat at the time about people being woken up at night by the sounds of it flying around. But an informal survey of residents found that only 24% of people thought the sound or noise from the helicopter was annoying. 60% said it didn't bother them and 16% said they hadn't noticed it. The police themselves gave it a very positive review. One officer wrote to the Police News magazine saying every officer who had worked with the helicopter had found it beneficial in helping to prevent crime, catch offenders, and increase safety. But despite Canterbury police themselves giving positive feedback on the trial, the powers-that-be decided it wouldn't be made permanent. Which some people would have been happy about, because there were some who hated the helicopter being here and weren't excited about the idea of us getting on here permanently. National MP Gerry Brownlee was dead against it. I remember him saying that plenty of people had told him that they hated the noise. They also found it traumatising hearing it, because it took them back to the days after the earthquakes. I get that. Nevertheless, I've always been in no doubt that we would benefit from having a permanent helicopter here. Which National kind-of talked about prior to the last election. The party's Christchurch central candidate was at a street corner meeting, and someone asked him what National was going to do about youth crime and whether it had plans for a police helicopter in Christchurch. According to someone who was there, he said that Christopher Luxon had given it the nod but there wouldn't be any announcement before the election. That was it. Nothing more since. But we know the cops love it. Most residents seem to like it. And my pick would be that support for us having a dedicated police helicopter would be much higher now than when the trial happened in 2020. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
