A close friend of the driver of a car involved in a tragic collision in Martinborough said his remorse weighed heavily on him in his final months following the crash. 48-year-old Alison Robyn Korny died and three others were seriously injured when Alan Leatham's car struck the four-seater bike they were riding on Puruatanga Road on February 13. Reporter Bill Hickman spoke to Lisa Owen.

One person has died and three more are seriously injured after a horror crash between a four seater bike and a car in Wairarapa earlier today. The accident happened on a road in Martinborough, famous for its wineries. Mary Argue spoke to Lisa Owen.

The speed limit on a stretch of road in Martinborough, where a cyclist on a four-seater bike died yesterday, has been under scrutiny for years - with a mayoral hopeful calling for urgent change. Reporter Mary Argue spoke with Ingrid Hipkiss.

The speed limit on a stretch of road that claimed the life of a cyclist in Wairarapa has been under scrutiny for years, according to south wairarapa mayoral hopeful Dame Fran Wilde. South Wairarapa mayor Martin Connelly spoke with Ingrid Hipkiss.

South Wairarapa mayor Martin Connelly says the speed limit along a stretch of Martinborough road is fine for now - despite large numbers of cyclists hopping between wineries. "People have never experienced in 20 years, an accident like this," Connelly said, saying he's comfortable with the road's 100km/h speed limit until he sees expert evidence suggesting otherwise. Yesterday a person died and three others were seriously injured after a car collided with a quadricycle on Puruatanga Road. Many Wairarapa residents told Newstalk ZB today they believe the speed limit should be lowered. The road is known for tourists who hire bikes to travel short distances between wineries. One local worker said yesterday many of these cyclists are also intoxicated - although there's no suggestion this was the case in yesterday's incident. Connelly joined Nick Mills on Wellington Mornings. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Piers discusses a new campaign to explore options for a toll road over the Remutaka range in a bid to boost the region's resilience. Those attending Martinborough's wine festival will now be able to soak in the summer vibes thanks to a change in date. With Carterton having already opted out of a Wellington water model, all eyes are on Masterton and South Wairarapa to see if they will follow suit. And what's going on with the price of butter? Piers Fuller is the Editor of the Wairarapa Times-Age

School's say they're flushing funds down the loo, with hefty council imposed toilet taxes and there's a huge disparity in what different schools are paying. They can't be charged general rates but councils can bill schools for specific services, like waste water and loos. Martinborough school principal Craig Nelson spoke to Lisa Owen.

Nigel Elder is the visionary behind The Elder Pinot and his story moves through various vocations before landing in Martinborough where he worked alongside some of New Zealand's great winemakers before venturing off to make his own exquisite Pinot Noir.www.theelderpinot.comwww.nzwinepodcast.comwww.instagram.com/nzwinepodcastMusic track featured on this podcast: ‘Here He Was' – courtesy of Brent Page.

BOB'S BEST BUYS  Escarpment Gris 2023 Martinborough $30  Why I chose it:    -I like it very much and respect Escarpment as a top producer.  -It's a wine that spans the seasons.  -It is genetically the same grape as Pinot Noir, but it is “gray” instead of red-skinned (“Gris” is French for gray). Pinot Blanc is even paler (“Blanc” means white in French).  What does it taste like?   -A smooth-textured, bright, fresh wine with flavours that resemble pear and green apple. It has a hint of sweetness balanced by refreshing acidity.  Why it's a bargain:   -It is an interesting wine that is well made, by a top producer who offer it at a fair piece.  Where can you buy it?   -Wine Hub, Christchurch, $26  -NZ Wine Boutique, $29.99  Food match?   -Blue cheese combines sweetness and acidity with the saltiness of the cheese – delicious!  Will it keep?   -Good for 3 or 4 years, possibly more with careful storage.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand needs a great deal in order to get back on track, printing money and once again becoming an almost first world nation that the rest of the world wants to come and see, travel and enjoy. The Tourism and Hospitality Minister is Matt Doocey and yesterday, he came out saying that nothing is off the table when it comes to helping fund the industry and the vital infrastructure it needs. Nothing? Really? That sounds like a giant blank cheque for the tourism industry to sink their teeth into right? Minister Matt Doocey has been touring the country, meeting with regional tourism operators in the past few weeks and listening to what they want, and their concerns. That's great… I'm sure this is great news for anyone with a wale watching venture, a bungy jumping business or sight seeing bus for the vineyards of Martinborough. Minister Doocey says he wants to find out how his ministry can support the tourism sector grow and become a big part of the economic success of Aotearoa. Now doesn't that sound like the ideal path forward for anyone looking to swing the spotlight upon this great nation? Some parts of the country are already seeing the numbers or tourists getting back to the numbers seen before the world screeched to a halt with the COVID pandemic. Queenstown is one center luxuriating in high numbers of tourists. Other areas that once enjoyed high numbers of sheepskin slipper and stuffed kiwi purchasing pundits – like Rotorua and Dunedin, are not faring so well. The key to getting tourism booming here once again, is funding. That was the key message that The Tourism Minister heard on his road trip around the county. Another aspect that he's taken back to The Beehive is just how crucial it is for the regions to have the visitor infrastructure necessary to accommodate our overseas friends and to put less strain on communities. Minister Doocey is spot on. The infrastructure of the country is pretty good in some places and completely woeful in others. Anyone who's had conversations with tourists over the past few months will know that one of the most common complaints they have, is the inability to get anywhere with public transport. We've been here a million times haven't we? New Zealand can't afford to run trains and busses to all points of the compass at all times. New Zealand doesn't have the population to sustain the level of infrastructure required to keep you and me happy – let alone the swathe of tourists who arrive here expecting more. They expect more – because largely speaking, they come here from countries that are light years ahead of us. Here; we continue to be hamstrung by our inability to see the rails for the sleepers. I sincerely hope that The Minister for Tourism can convince this coalition government to find the money to build what we need in order to make New Zealand a first class, top-notch destination for all tourists. God knows we need them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How can it be that we have never done an overview on New Zealand? We decided to remedy that this week. This is a sweeping look at the two-island nation that has a huge wine reputation, even though it only accounts for 1% of the wine made in the world. In this show, we give an overview of the wine history of New Zealand, which is probably longer than you think, and then go through the regions to tell you how they differ from one another, why they are unique and the top wines you should look for. Although Marlborough represents 70% of wine made, we encourage you to look beyond it and try some of the other regions, which may just revive your love for the place with the most southerly wine regions in the world!   Check out the show notes for the podcasts that we've done that focus on specific areas of New Zealand with Happy Wine Woman , Simone Madden-Gray and Jeff Clarke of O:TU Here are the podcasts we reference in the show: Ep 192: Hawke's Bay, NZ with Correspondent Simone Madden-Grey Ep 212: Central Otago, NZ with Simone Madden-Grey Ep 223: North Canterbury, New Zealand's Hidden Gem with Simone Madden-Grey Ep 235: The Rebirth of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with Simone Madden-Grey Ep 288: Martinborough, NZ and the Glory of Wellington Wine Country with Simone Madden-Grey Ep 475: Jeff Clarke of O:TU Wines - The Evolution of Marlborough, New Zealand Wines   Materials for the show from and the podcast referenced above:  https://www.nzwine.com/en/   Full show notes are on Patreon. Become a member today!  www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople       _______________________________________________________________ I love my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access, my go-to source for the best selection of interesting, outstanding quality wines you can't find locally.

South Wairarapa District Council is in an invidious position with the population expected to swell in the coming years, infrastructure is under the microscope, and Mary says the latest news is not good. Martinborough's wastewater treatment plant is at capacity. And while infrastructure is failing in some areas of the district, in others, such as Greytown, SWDC has publicly notified resource consents for large-scale developments including a 235-hectare solar farm project lodged by Far North Solar Farm. There's also been a new application lodged by Woolworths to build access to the local Fresh Choice supermarket from SH2. And Featherston was buzzing at the weekend with 8000 visitors drawn to the annual Booktown Festival.

Wine: 2021 Te Kairanga Rosé, Martinborough $25.99  Why I chose it:  Versatile, suits warm weather and cooler weather Was a stand-out wine in a recent blind tasting From a top vintage (buy now while stocks last) Who doesn't like Rosé? (A winemaker recently told me that more men buy Rosé than women in NZ) What does it taste like?  Reasonably pale, gently aromatic rose with raspberry sherbet, crushed strawberry and watermelon flavours. Dry, refreshing wine with good flavour intensity and a lingering finish. Why it's a bargain:  High quality wine at a middle-of-the-road price. Where can you buy it?  Foley Wine Club are selling it for $20.99 if you buy six bottles for $125.95 Food match?  You can enhance the pleasure by serving the wine with pink-tinted foods such as prawn cocktails or salmon sushi – it really gives it a lift. Will it keep?  No, drink up. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Self-improvement - via a wine glass. With a side helping of 'vinous Kama Sutra'. But we're getting ahead of ourselves...In our last episode we explored what we wine lovers want from the year ahead. In this programme we flip the camera round and take a look how we can be better wine lovers.Suggestions like 'drink better' inevitably crop up. But so do more thought-provoking tips such as, 'Pair food with wine, not the reverse,' 'Give a bottle of wine that we love to someone who isn't expecting it,' and 'Listen. Encourage. Celebrate.'Supporting climate action is high on the agenda. 'Drink only wines from sustainable farming,' is one view, another is: 'Take a stand against wine in overly heavy bottles!'Firm opinions are expressed on everything from shopping local to keeping an open mind (to other people's views as well as to unfamiliar wine styles), trusting your own palate, being humble, supporting small producers and retailers, pouring Pinot Gris down the sink, giving new things a go - and putting wine on the table not a pedestal.In short, this is a largely heart-warming, occasionally challenging, certainly thought-provoking episode that will hopefully get us thinking about what it is to be a wine lover, and how we can each get the most out of this glorious liquid. Into this engaging mix are thrown the usual hodge-podge of random elements, from lobster mac'n'cheese to 'Naked on Roller-Skates' and artificial intelligence holding forth on 'wine tasting in the style of the Kama Sutra'. You've been warned.We pair this zesty wine chat with a couple of special bottles to tie in with the discussion:Ata Rangi Lismore Pinot Gris 2009, Martinborough, New ZealandRidgeview Sparkling Red Pinot Noir NV, Sussex, EnglandBride Valley Pinot Noir 2018, Dorset, EnglandThanks to wine writer Libby Brodie, Master of Wine Peter McCombie and Master Sommelier Gearoid Devaney - as well as a host of wine lovers all around the world - for sharing their views for this episode.

This is the fifth of short duration and quick to release News Flashes that we intend to share with you on the progress of various Sideways projects - the new book, the musical, the new movie, and all other Sideways related activities. This News Flash is focused on building on the exciting news that Rex is coming to New Zealand. In this episode, Rex and Youie chat through the itinerary and invite those living in Auckland, Gisborne, Napier and the Wairarapa to reach out to them and suggest people they should meet, places they should go during the mini 'roadtrip' that will start in Auckland on Thursday May 12, then go to Gisborne on Friday May 13, Saturday May 14, then Napier on Saturday May 14 and Sunday May 15. Then, it's off to Martinborough and the Wairarapa on Sunday May 15 ending up in Wellington on Sunday May 15 and Monday Tuesday 16. So, if you wish to meet Rex and buy him a drink or a coffee, then write to wine@158.co.nz and we'll see if he can catch up with you this time around or when he repeats the journey more slowly in July/August in his campervan. Also, a big call out for any book groups anywhere in the country who may wish to have Rex appear in person, please let us know.
