We are glad you’re here. ☺️
Offering a quality kombucha for us, has been about finding the perfect brand alignment, a brand with Authenticity and Integrity as there is a lot of ‘false’ booch out there..

Daily Organics aligns with our purpose of providing delicious beverages, that don’t cost the earth. Their three flavours are absolutely hands down the best we have ever tasted. Original, Chai Spices & Ginger, Lemon & Ginger. Daily Organics kombucha is bottle conditioned, (a rare component in most on the shelves) making its overall enjoyment factor supersede any other kombucha we have tried. You’ll need to taste it to determine that for yourself 😉

Some of the Daily Organic differences;
🔎 The only commercially available kombucha that is not adding fruits, flavours, kombucha vinegar, OR being carbonated. 🔎 All the flavours come from tea!
🔎 Self carbonated (a natural by product of the fermentation process)
🔎 Bottle conditioned for 4-6 weeks.
🔎 All flavours all brewed separately = 3 distinct flavour profiles.

If you’re looking for an offering that’s quality above all else, we hear you. And we say all the way. 🙌🏻

Thanks for a fantastic tasting yesterday with the team to look at the slice of Rioja that is .wine. Yesterday the team jumped on google meets for a refresher on these wines, what a treat that was! We look far too serious in these photos 🫠 but trust us, we were excited!!

Bideona - means “the good way” in Basque :)

We tasted the noble grapes of Rioja;
Viura and of course, Tempranillo🍷

Such freshness in these wines, due to the use of Rioja Alevesa (higher altitude sites with concentrated limestone content in the soil) fruit, where Sam looks to make wines that are more “naked” than the typical Rioja wines, wearing less makeup, and encouraging the wines to have higher drinkability, less density, and showcase exciting flavours like black cherry, the finest dark chocolate, and spicy clove, oof 👌🏻

The main principals of are:

⚜️Authenticity
⚜️Sustainability
⚜️Competitiveness

We could go on about their incredible sustainability practises but we’ll save that for another post...

TLDR; If you are looking for the best possible value Rioja, get in touch! 🍷🍷🍷

Available now
- 2018 Cabezadas Viura
- 2020 Laderas Tempranillo
- 2019 Las Parcelas Tempranillo

Christmas is 2 months today 😅😀 and we reckon 2023 has been a bloody stressful year for many. Our advice; keep it simple this year.

Spend quality time, get outdoors, create a meal that encompasses wholesome food, & local produce.

Make the day special with a bottle of Champagne or locally made sparkling. Swipe to see our recommendations (1) is pretty spectacular with its crisp fine bubbles.
(2) If that’s a pinch, grab a bottle of (2) new Petina Pet Nat for something to take to the beach. (3) Brut Rosé is a fabulous start to the day with plenty of red fruits.

Minerals Christmas Guide;
- Support the local butcher
- Hold off the Xmas crackers (the jokes are sh*t anyway)
- Let everyones presence be the presents 🎁
- Do a toast with a nice bottle of champagne. Nothing quite says Christmas like a glass of the finest with a croissant at breakfast 🥂🥐🤌🏻

Native! 🌿🌿🌿 We wish there were emojis for Manuka, Kawakawa and Horopito! These beautiful natives are part of the Aotearoa story, and was clever enough to put it in a bottle of gin, evoking a sense of “walking through the New Zealand bush”. How good! It’s perfect with a splash of tonic.

Baby it’s cold outside ❄️ …. Time to soak up those toasty night in with a big fat glass of this gorgeous ruby red Malbec [60%] Merlot [40%] from 🍷🥩 Pair is with a great piece of steak from your local butcher for best result. 😉

Words from the man himself;
“If there’s a ‘big’ wine in my lineup it is this one. But keeping with the Testify mantra, it’s still a wine of purity and elegance and truly the best Hawke’s Bay red I could produce in each vintage. From the first 2016 rendition I made of purely Malbec, this has evolved to include Merlot (some co-fermented) and coming soon a Malbec/Syrah. Coming off the certified organic Gimblett Gravels vineyard this wine is intense, structured and quite peppery making for an intriguing experience.”
- Dan Brennan, Winemaker at
