EVENTS & PRESS

at Tonic Bistro & Bar in Martinborough, New Zealand

A lovely surprise as we got word Michael landed on the Top Sommeliers for 2026!

Not bad for a high desert kid from Mormon country. We're so excited to see Dev, Sam (from Luna Estate) and Belen (from Palliser Estate) all representing Martinborough on this list as well.

Congrats, all!

In the midst of getting back to New Zealand just in time for a massive holiday weekend, we missed the fact that we've been featured in the new Coravin Guide for NZ with an Outstanding rating! We are one of 38 venues listed for NZ and the only venue for the Wairarapa. Big thanks to Coravin and Dhall & Nash Fine Wines for all their work in putting the Guide together.
