there\u2019s no stuffy lecture, no over persuasive sales talk, and no wine ponciness; just you, your taste buds and your opinions.<\/p>\n<p>All we require for this cornucopia of Kiwiness is <strong>\u00a315 <\/strong>a head, a \u00a315 that we will gladly hand back to you when you buy \u00a350 or more of wine on the night.\u00a0 Call us to reserve\u00a0your place &#8211;
