Brennan Wines - Queenstown
Situated in the vineyard sub-region of Gibbston, the cellar door location of Brennan Wines is in a truly stunning setting.
In the winter patrons can sample elegant wines by the open fire and gaze out at snow-capped mountains from the warm interior of the converted shed. When the winter sun permits it, and during the hot Central Otago summer days, the dramatic views can be enjoyed outdoors in the picnic area which is decked out with picnic tables and cherry blossom trees. The Pétanque court is a quirky addition to Brennan Wines and provides some leisurely-paced fun.

Ep 212: Central Otago, NZ with Simone Madden-Grey
Central Otago is known among wine dorks as a Pinot Noir mecca. We're lucky that regular podcast guest host Simone Madden-Grey is from this region! In this episode, she gives us the skinny on climate, soil, top wines, travel tips, and what's next for the wines of the region.

We get into detail on geography: Southernmost growing region in the world with Patagonia – at 45˚ south latitude Climate: Alpine climate, with short and hot summers and really cold winters, great day to night temperature swings Southern Alps: Run down middle of South Island. Rain shadow from the wet weather from West. Gorges, lakes, rivers mean abundant water for viticulture Soils: ancient glaciers, quartz and silica in the soils but when the gold rush happened, the soil was stripped and now producers are trying to restore it
We discuss New Zealand's dedication to its Sustainable Winegrowing Program, biodynamics, and organics and the Clean and Green mentality of New Zealand
We talk about the main grapes and wine profiles of Central Otago – Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Pinot blanc, Tempranillo (Brennan Wines is mentioned) We discuss aromatic whites and their potential in the region: Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Gris, white field blends
We discuss the subregions and how they are new and just starting to define themselves Wanaka – arrived, Ripon Gibbston, Bannockburn – up and coming Bendigo – Prophet’s Rock, Quartz Reef (vineyards)
We do a deeper dive into Pinot Noir, discussing it's unique character when it's from Central Otago.

Amazing POV: Jump With the Original Bungee Jumpers | National Geographic
Bungee jumping officially began in 1979, but men on Pentecost Island in the South Pacific have practiced nagol, or land diving, for centuries. In a ritual full of symbolism and spirituality, men dive from a wooden tower up to 100 feet high with nothing but vines attached to their ankles. On a recent voyage aboard the National Geographic Orion, the ship's expedition team helped a jumper attach a wearable camera to his chest, capturing a thrilling view of this ancient tradition.
