A fantastic new wine bar and bistro, owned by the former president of Hawke's Bay Winegrowers. Great for wine tastings (until 5pm) and the food is en pointe too. Went there for the first time in late January, and it is my new favourite. Bookings essential as this place is small but perfectly formed!
