2160p 4K UHD Day trip to Wairarapa Martinborough Greytown Stonehenge Aotearoa EV Rapid Charge
In this video I take a drive to the Southern Wairarapa, I talk about EV DC rapid charger network by charge.net.nz . I talk about cafes and coffee, mobility and accessibility. I talk about Stonehenge Aotearoa.
It is possible to get public transport to Martinborough, it looks like $19.50 each way. Renting a car for 24 hours look more reasonable.
The Classic New Zealand Wine Trail.
I include J1772 chargers at Pack'n'Save Petone Supermarket.
The driving time from Wellington Railway station to Martinborough, Greytown and back to Wellington is about three hours, the distance is about 200km. If you were making this trip in a Nissan Leaf, I would recommend charging at Featherston.

Pictorial history of the W.F.C.A. Building Pahiatua 1896 to 2015.
Pictorial history of the W.F.C.A. Building Pahiatua 1896 to 2015.
In 1892 a new registered company, Wairarapa Farmers' Co-operative Association, was formed with a share capital of £100,000; it amalgamated Myer Caselberg's businesses with Joseph Nathan's Tinui store. Caselberg was managing director of the new company until 1920. by the energetic Greytown businessman Myer Caselberg had new premises built in Pahiatua in 1896 prior to that they rented a building in Pahiatua for four years.
By 1908 the WFCA was the largest inland trading organisation in the North Island. It had stores in Masterton, Carterton, Greytown, Featherston, Martinborough, Alfredton, Pahiatua and Dannevirke. By 1895 there was a butter factory at Kopuaranga and a cheese factory at Greytown & the company had a London address.
Early in the 1900s garages, motor vehicle showrooms and workshops were opened in Masterton and Pahiatua and granaries in Masterton and Greytown. The company held agencies for Austin and Dodge vehicles. In its rapid growth during its first decades the company represented a rare example of successful commercial expansion beyond the region.
Meyer Caselberg originally came from In the small town of Gaorah, Poland, & was born ''Laib ben Kasreal'' in 1841. His parents were Kasreal ben Laib, a shopkeeper, and his wife, Leah Joseph. Because of anti-Semitic persecution the family moved to England, where his father changed the family name from Kasreal to Caselberg, although they had no German connections. Young Laib took the personal name Myer. He became a travelling salesman in Wales.
In 1863 Caselberg emigrated to Southland, New Zealand. He spent two years in Invercargill and mining unsuccessfully for gold in Otago. After moving to Wellington in 1865, he heard of land being opened up in the Wairarapa Valley and walked over the Rimutaka Range, carrying all his possessions. He settled in Featherston and, with 'Tiny' Pain of Martinborough, is reputed to have been the first to use the old Maori track for packing in retail goods by horse.
Caselberg travelled the isolated holdings of eastern Wairarapa, until then supplied by ship. He became friendly with a fellow Jew, Joseph Nathan, with whose help he set up their first store in Featherston in 1865.
Caselberg retired in 1920, and died on 23 June 1922.
In 1934 a large earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 struck at 11:46 pm on 5 March, causing severe damage to many shops in town and the whole large conctete facade of the WFCA fell onto the Main street, a new safer facade was soon built and the company survived intact right up until 1959 when they were eventually taken over by another very old New Zealand company Wright, Stephenson & Co., Limited , thus began a period of re-branding of all the shops.
Yet another merer came in 1968 when they merged with ''Hay's'' to form ''Hay's Wright Stephenson's. Hay's, was a household name in Christchurch from its inception as a Department Store in 1929. Around 1970 the ''Hay's Wright Stephenson's name was shortened to ''Haywrights'', then in 1972 the rural stock & station side of Wright Stephenson's merged with ''N.M.A'' (National Mortgage and Agency Company of New Zealand) to form ''Wrightson NMA''. 1974-75 the Haywrights side of the this Pahiatua building closed & was turned into Pahiatua New World Supermarket which was then locally owned & operated by Real Mador & Mike Olsen. The Wrightson NMA side of this building later became ''Wrightson Appliances''.
By the mid 1980's they moved to another building in town and by then simply called ''Wrightson's''.
Managh Electrical took over their old shop (the original WFCA shop), they added smaller shops ''the OP Shop'' & ''Tararua District Tourist Information centre'' & Managh Electrical were the last occupants of the building before it was demolished in 2015. Pahiatua New World Supermarket has since expanded into two next door shops and the original WFCA building site is now part of their expanded car park. Current owners are Jason and Rachel Griggs who have been in Pahiatua since April 2008, and love being part of the vibrant rural community. They employ around 75 staff members from all over the district. Approximately 40 of these people work full-time.

Welcome to Prize Wines. A sporadic video blog about the wines I'm drinking now.
Please bear with me as I approach this from a casual wine drinker background. I'm not a wine grower. I'm a social wine drinker. So my description or off the cuff comments may not cover all the nuances of the wine. If you'd like to add more to my description of a particular wine, especially if you're the wine grower, distributor or retailer please feel free to comment below.

This review may not reflect the reviews of other wine drinkers and wine organisations I may be associated with and are mine alone.

Thank you for watching my wine reviews.
I've received many fantastic and appreciated comments from people all around that have found the videos useful and I have seen a dramatic increase in the amount of people watching them (thank you, thank you very much), so in 2015 I will return with more wine review videos.
If you are a wine producer and would like me to review your wine for free, please click on 'about' on my channel and send me a message. I'll email you the address to post the wine to as soon as possible. If you find the video useful you are welcome to use it on your website. Videos are recorded with a Samsung Galaxy Note II mobile and are completely unscripted.
I cannot guarantee that I will be able to review every bottle of wine I receive but I will endeavour to do so. If your wine tastes great, it'll definitely get a review. If it doesn't, I would not wish to upload the video in case I was just unlucky enough to get a bad bottle, or there was some bottle shock in delivery, or it had been affected by the heat.
I'm not a sommelier so, in that sense, you can receive down-to-earth reviews from the point of view of a real customer who just loves wine.
If you're an enjoyer of fine wines like me and you like these videos and would like to contribute in some way, feel free to leave a comment below on what your favourite wine is like. If you're interested in supporting the creation of future videos, please consider buying our ebook: Secret Sydney Bars Walking Tour Guide 2014: A Guide to Finding Over 37 Interesting, Unique and Hidden Bars in Sydney City, from The Rocks to City Centre. It's available on Amazon for Kindle. You can find out more about it here: (We make about 25c from every sale so every little bit helps!)

I also now have a Face Book page on wine. Early days yet but if you could 'like' it, that would be very much appreciated.
