August Contest: Handcrafted New Zealand
More From: Curious Competitions
Posted July 7th, 2010 by Michael Kane
Celebrating our best ever deals on New Zealand wine this month, we’re giving away a beautiful, handcrafted Rimu cheese board, along with two bottles of our favourite handcrafted wines from Andrew Greenhough, who kindly contributed to the blog last week.
Rimu is one of New Zealand’s tallest indigenous trees, growing to over 50 metres and reaching an age of 700-800 years at maturity. This piece comes from salvaged logs which sank to the bottom of Lake Brunner, on the South Island’s west coast, around 100 years ago, and preserved by the cool temperatures of the deep lake. After delicate drying, woodturner Peter Allnutt has skillfully turned this beautiful raw material into a real work of art for the dining table.
We’ll deliver the board plus the bottles of Greenhough Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir to one lucky winner pulled from the hat in August’s prize draw.
How to Enter: All you have to do to get in the draw is ‘friend us up’ on our Facebook page. We’ll draw one lucky winner at random in August from all our fans and post it here and on Facebook.
Last month, we were giving away two Luckeboxes, a New World Wine Box and a Box 4 Cooks, to celebrate our partnership with the innovative new shopping website. Congratulations to Ewan Elmer and Andrew Wilson, drawn at random from our Facebook friends this morning, to win our July contest. Luckeboxes on the way to you guys, hope you enjoy (we’ll keep you guessing as to which one you’ve won!).
