Maybe even do some techie touch-ups in post so you don’t look like a roasted lobster. On a related note, do a little grooming before taking the pic. Get a fluorescent life jacket on because chances are the dolphins won’t want to save you after you just dumped your Cubano ashes into their backyard. Those boat shoes may say “rich seaman,” but they also say rich amateur seaman – I could knock you into the drink with one tail flip, college boy! Women appreciate safety first. Same with any shirt you picked up at a bait shop.

It’s the least I can do before you stuff my stomach with a speaker that just blasts Sirius XM: Escape to Margaritaville.įirst up, wardrobe. But I couldn’t help but see that your Tinder game blows chum, son! Lemme let you in on a couple of things I’ve learned out in the big blue. I’ve been noticing a lot of you fellas catching us, snapping a quick pic of us as our heads are bleeding out on your deck, and then tossing us back.ĭon’t get me wrong, I’m grateful you remembered the DNR’s minimum weight requirements.

Matapari vineyard is the lowest elevation vineyard, while the Brennan ‘home’ block is one of the oldest vineyards. The Andy Pinot was grown from two of the oldest and warmest vineyards in Gibbston.

Aromas of fresh woody herbs, rosemary and purple sage are balanced with earthy tones. The soils of Gibbston provide its uniqueness, and the vines of Gibbston respond with perfumed, silky Pinot that often shows signs of blue and red fruit characteristics like tamarillo and blueberries. The vineyards of Gibbston experience 1000 growing degree-days per season and, on average, 700mm of rain. Gibbston is the original appellation of Central Otago and is one of the most awarded regions for Pinot Noir in New Zealand. The ‘Andy’ Pinot Noir 2020 is crafted from 100% Gibbston Pinot Noir. This limited-edition Pinot Noir is an expression of Gibbston – a place Andy loved. True to his infectious enthusiasm and generous spirit, proceeds from this wine will fund a scholarship in Andy’s name at Lincoln University. Everyone involved in its creation has donated their skills, grapes, winemaking and time to create a tangible legacy for a great man. It’s worth noting that Andy’s indelible impression on those around him is what brought this wine to life. The result is a classic Gibbston Valley Pinot Noir: appealing, silky, and sophisticated. Andy’s old stomping grounds proffered the grapes with Matapari, Brennan and Takapoto Vineyards contributing the fruit. The fruit was handpicked from selected blocks in Gibbston Valley, the coolest of the Central Otago subregions. This is a wine we hope he would proudly hold on the international podium and call his own. And, proving that good things come in threes, he also took home the New Zealand Producer of the Year trophy from the same two years in the same competition. After all, he took home the International Wine and Spirit Competition’s Best Pinot Noir trophy – two years in a row with grapes sourced from Bannockburn and then Gibbston. But creating a tribute to Andy has been no easy task. With the decision to honour Andy by making this wine, we wanted to make him proud. ‘Andy’ Pinot Noir 2020 is a fitting tribute to the life, legacy and talent of beloved Central Otago winemaker Andy Anderson. What began as an idea from a collective of blokes to honour their friend has turned into a world-class Central Otago Pinot Noir.
