Bob's Best Buys: Rimapere Baron Edmond de Rothschild 2024 Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, $30

Why I chose it:        

- Top vintage
- Best of Marlborough with a French accent
- Sauvignon doesn’t get much better than this
- Delicious now but no rush
- It has great purity and power
- Due to be released, but buy it while stocks last



What does it taste like?  

A delicious sauvignon blanc with real finesse. Flavours are a medley of passion fruit, lime zest, guava, and a suggestion of feijoa. A vibrant and refreshing wine with appealing purity. It has a strong Marlborough signature with a subtle French accent.



Why it’s a bargain:  

It’s not the cheapest sauvignon around, in fact as sauvignon goes it is moderately expensive, but is also very, very good. In my book it offers good value.



Where can you buy it?

It is just about to be released so check out your nearest fine wine retailer. When ordering in advance, don’t forget to enquire about a discount.



What’s a good food match? 

The folk at Rimapere recommend pairing it with salads, white meats, or fish in sauce dishes. I can’t argue with that.

Kiwi musician Ladyhawke was a fixture of the late 2000s. 

In 2009, Pip Brown, better known as Ladyhawke, stormed to number one on the New Zealand albums chart in 2009 with her self-titled debut and hit song ‘My Delirium’, leading to a slew of music awards, and international tours. 

15 years later, she’s coming full circle, performing her debut album at the upcoming ‘Others Way’ festival in Auckland. 

Ladyhawke told Jack Tame that she has a few tours and shows coming up, but wanted to do something special for the 15 year anniversary.  

“I thought, why don't I do something special and do the first record front to back,” she said. 

“There's a couple of songs on it that I'd never played live before.” 

Although festival goers will be the only ones to get the full album experience, Ladyhawke has been playing a few of her older hits on her tours throughout the UK and Australia. 

“Everyone's just, like, really happy. And I love looking out and seeing everyone singing along,” she told Tame. 

“I know it's a bit of a nostalgia trip for people, which is, which is awesome for me too.”

Framed: Astonishing True Stories of Wrongful Convictions by John Grisham and Jim McCloskey  

John Grisham is known worldwide for his bestselling novels, but it’s his real-life passion for justice that led to his work with Jim McCloskey of Centurion Ministries, the first organization dedicated to exonerating innocent people who have been wrongly convicted. Together they offer an inside look at the many injustices in our criminal justice system. 
 
A fundamental principle of our legal system is a presumption of innocence, but once someone has been found guilty, there is very little room to prove doubt. These ten true stories shed light on Americans who were innocent but found guilty and forced to sacrifice friends, families, and decades of their lives to prison while the guilty parties remained free. In each of the stories, John Grisham and Jim McCloskey recount the dramatic hard-fought battles for exoneration. They take a close look at what leads to wrongful convictions in the first place and the racism, misconduct, flawed testimony, and corruption in the court system that can make them so hard to reverse. 
 
Impeccably researched and told with page-turning suspense as only John Grisham can deliver, Framed is the story of winning freedom when the battle already seems lost and the deck is stacked against you. 

  

The Elements of Marie Curie by Dava Sobel  

For decades Marie Curie was the only woman in the room at international scientific gatherings, and despite constant illness she travelled far and wide to share the secrets of radioactivity, a term she coined. She is still the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two scientific fields. 
 
Her ingenuity extended far beyond the laboratory walls; grieving the death of her husband, Pierre, she took his place as professor of physics at the Sorbonne, devotedly raised two daughters, drove a van she outfitted with x-ray equipment to the front lines of World War I, befriended Albert Einstein and inspired generations of young women to pursue science as a way of life. 
 
Approaching Marie Curie from a unique angle, Sobel navigates her remarkable discoveries and fame alongside the women who became her legacy – from Norway’s Ellen Gleditsch and France’s Marguerite Perry, who discovered the element francium, to her own daughter, Irene, a Nobel Prize winner in her own right. The Elements of Marie Curie deftly illuminates the trailblazing life and enduring influence of one of the most consequential figures of our time.
