I’ve been on a much-needed post-election sabbatical around the Monterey Peninsula with dear friends from Vancouver, B.C., and now just getting back in the saddle.

Firstly, a heartfelt shout out to all my New Zealand artisan wine makers sweeping up the broken bottles from their own earthquake.

Secondly, posts will arrive a little ‘off-schedule’ this week – plenty to share, so bear with the irregular deluge.

Finally, don’t forget tonight’s Hunter’s Moon – the biggest moon since 1948.

Cheers!
