Ink-dark crimson, Awatea Cabernets/Merlot ’17 glimmers with bright raspberry, cherry and blackberry sparkling over mocha, cedar and spice. Always a favourite expression of fine Hawke’s Bay cabernet, Awatea from 2017 is refreshing and moreish as well as typically elegant. Aromas of red and dark berry fruit, flashes of boysenberry and espresso on the palate, and a classical, super-fine, tannin structure running through to its long finish make Awatea Cabernets/Merlot ’17 a true star.

The separate parcels of grapes were destemmed before a traditional warm, plunged fermentation and extended maceration on skins. The resulting wines were then run to new and seasoned French oak barrels for 16 months’ ageing. Throughout this time, they were regularly topped and racked. The separate wines were blended in January 2018, then returned to barrel for their second winter. The finished wine was then egg white fined and bottled in October 2018. The final blend is 56% cabernet sauvignon, 39% merlot, 5% cabernet franc.

Closed with a natural cork that will allow Awatea to continue to evolve in bottle and provide great enjoyment up to 10 years from harvest.

Love it! Romance included!
Format: Kindle
Love the characters, love the world, love the series! The romance aspect turned out to be quite entertaining, definitely a slow burn, which is my favorite and the fact that the love interest is a girl has me cheering. But the story is a litrpg first and foremost and isn’t lacking on anything I look for in the genre. A lot of things about the world are completely original as well. I couldn’t put it down and read through both of the first two books in two days. To those hating on Katelin… why? I think she’s hilarious and super cute. Also, if you’re confused as to why Emma seems attracted to her even though she’s straight, that’s actually explained in the next book. Pretty clever honestly.

Not bad, but...
Format: Kindle
I read to 33% (my percentage point to determine if I will stick it out, unless it's terrible of course) and can say with authority that this book is ok, but not for me. There are some points that I think are worth mentioning. It is specifically mentioned that the MC has a generously proportioned bust, and that she is not wearing a sports bra. And yet her generous chest causes no difficulty in athletic action. Don't get me wrong, busty women can be very athletic, but they wear sports bras while being athletic. How do I know this as a man, simple. Generously, and not so generously, proportioned women have told me that this is important. Second: At33% she is still in the middle of her 'test', so it's a slow moving book. Third: The system interface goes from being indifferent to the MC to being willing to bend/break the the rules to aid her. Honestly, I prefer the indifferent one. It takes more than a little spunk to flip that switch. In conclusion, not for me, some significant problems, but I could see some people enjoying this. Tom out

A new style LitRPG for me
Format: Kindle
I really like Emma. The attraction that is in this series so far seems blessedly not limited by gender. This starts out like a few other same genre series I've read. It is unique though in how it kicks off. The AI sidekicks do seem suspicious, but also motivated to help their charge progress. Now, if only I could travel, and survive, to a dimension or universe that changed my hair to stay the color I like that would be perfect. Fun series, well written with both mystery and challenge.

Oh- this was a fun one! I mean, stealing your twin's girlfriend? Come on! Doesn't that sound like a mess you wanna be in?! It was crazy, sexy, it was sweet (in a lot of ways), and it was also heartwarming. I loved it all!

Game On!
Format: Kindle
This was a great quick sapphic read! Not too dark so if you are new to dark romance or not sure about it then this is definitely a book worth reading! I liked the fierce authenticity of Remy. She was protective and loyal (mostly iykyk) Fauna was so sweet and kind. They had some palpable chemistry! And there’s kittens! ;)
