Just letting you guys know that good friend, father in law and frequent offline attendee Cliff died suddenly in the weekend.
We had great times at the Esk Valley Terraces afternoon, 98 Hawkes Bay tasting, Eileen Hardy vertical, Puriri Hills visit and not to mention many many other occasions outside forum organised events. But you left us with way too many great wines left unshared and great times unhad.
After arranging his funeral Im sure he would be so happy that we lunched at his place with 06 Trinity Hill Homage Syrah, 08 Puriri Hills Reserve and 07 Te Mata Awatea. We still have a lot of work to do to put a dent in his cellar but it will not be half as fun doing so without him there. We will miss you so much.
