Ah tis bliss - but the liver is in a permanent state of quiver. Yesterday it was Dockside - including members of the Maori caucus of the VRWCNZ. Them fellas know how to drink.
A few weeks ago some of the top end restaurants were doing a bit of a starve but it seems that there is joy in the air again. We still reckon things are going to get real tough on the financial front - the markets tanked in the US last night and Key got some shitty but expected news from treasury yesterday but this week everyone seems to enjoying a bit of conspicuous consumption.
Note to Dockside - if you are charging over $30 for fish and chips then make sure the fish is v fresh - the gurnard was bloody awful. But we love the new maitre de - she is great. The service was fantastic. And the recommendation for Central Otago Rockburn Savignon Blanc was spot on.
