Wine: Tiki Single Vineyard Pinot Gris 2024, North Canterbury, $23.00  

In recognition of Matariki and to highlight we have a growing number of Māori wine producers in NZ (Tiki, Tarras, Steve Bird, te PA, Tohu).  

A crisp, dry style Pinot Gris with aromas and flavours of green pear and apple, some citrus highlights and a touch of quince. Just dry on the palate with an immediate bite of acidity and phenolics for texture and mouthfeel. There’s a fine less quality adding complexity and breadth across the palate. Best drinking from late 2024 through 2027.  

 

The Food: A wine that is delicious with all sorts of hangi fare – especially kumara and pork belly. If you prefer seafood, then poached salmon with lemon is a great match. Vegetarians will like this wine with cashew nut dusted tofu burger with red beet and tasty cheese.  

 

The season: 2024 was an excellent year for most growers in NZ.

Joe Thomas was thrown into the spotlight in 2008 when British comedy ‘The Inbetweeners’ hit out TV screens. 

His character, Simon Cooper, suffered all manner of teenage humiliations at the hands of his friends, played by Simon Bird, Blake Harrison, and James Buckley. 

Now he’s on our side of the world, joining the line-up of Kiwi talent involved in TVNZ’s ‘NZ Spy’, starring alongside Rose Matafeo, Bret McKenzie, and Paul Williams.  

The show focuses on New Zealand’s three newest spies, and somewhat bumbling, spies, who have to track down the nation’s biggest enemy – the head of the Australian Secret Service.  

Thomas told Jack Tame this was one of those projects he knew would be good from the moment he read the script. 

“With comedy you can just tell like, immediately, if it’s gonna be good ... and within the first sort of page, I just thought, yeah this is great.” 

“Sometimes you just get jobs and you’re like, oh this is great, and you’re like, I was honestly like, what’s the catch?”

Wellington is targeted to become New Zealand’s first predator-free city. 

Announced back in March, Predator Free Wellington is receiving $5.5 million over five years, working alongside Capital Kiwi and Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne to eliminate predators from the area. 

And while Kevin Milne is pleased overall by the news, there is one sticking point for him: hedgehogs.

A Kiwi app is going up against Spotify. 

Instead of focusing on songs, playlists, and subscriptions, Lume is built around albums – allowing fans to buy digital “box sets” containing the album, bonus audio, video, artwork, and photography.  

A majority of the revenue goes directly to the artists and their partners. 

Chris Schulz joined Jack Tame to share his thoughts on the new platform.
