End of the Line

If you have visited this blog in the last few months you will note that the last post was back in Sept. 08. I am sorry to have stopped posting but wanted to post this last note before closing the blog. We have sold Hawks Nest Vineyard to our long time manager there--Jeremy Noakes. I will continue to serve as US manager for Hawks Nest and it will continue to be imported by Lipman Brothers of Nashville. My wife and I are pulling back from New Zealand and have put our home there up for sale. After 10 wonderful years in NZ it is time to move back to the states so we can spoil our grandchildren who live in Denver even more than we have in the past.

The commute from Nashville to NZ is long and hard and going three times a year is getting too much for the ole bod. I am now 65 and need a new hip and find the long flight leaves me washed out and sore for days. So, now we will go to NZ at least once a year in the NZ summer to keep up with our friends and spend the rest of our time in the states.

Do keep drinking good red wine--such as Hawks Nest- to keep you in good health.

Sincerely and goodby.
