Sampling reveals lots on offer

Wine lovers got a chance last night to pre-sample a line-up of 40 mostly unique wine blends that will be up for grabs in a month’s time at the 24th annual Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction. The tasting was held in the Gatsby Room at the Art Deco Masonic Hotel in Naper. This year’s auction will be held at the Hawke’s Bay Opera House Plaza on Saturday, November 14 and proceeds from the auction will go to Cranford Hospice.
