Wine tasting

This morning did a walking tour of the Art Deco area in Napier. The entire central buisiness district was destroyed in 1931 by and earthquake and subsequent fire. It was rebuilt and the majority was in Art Deco as was the rage at that time.

This afternoon, took a tour of wineries. Some very nice wines. Not big on real heavy reds, but some nice ones. They are getting ready for the harvest in about 2 to 3 weeks. The grapes were heavy on the vines. Also a number of orchards and olive groves.
