Whilst, the '77' Wine Bar has sadly closed in London, El Vino goes from strength to strength. Established in the 1800's, El Vino is a City institution.
So Jacqui and I are delighted that Sir David Mitchell, former Chairman of the El Vino Group should be a house guest with us in Tauranga for the next few days. Jacqui broke two centuries tradition by becoming the first senior female manager within the Group.
We plan to introduce Sir David to Mills Reef Winery in Tauranga and Morton Estate in Katikati. Politics will be kept in-house, though I am sure after some sav, it will raise its head. Sir David was a Cabinet Minister in Margaret Thatcher's Government and we await the release of his autobiography in May with interest. It has been a long-time coming.
Promoting NZ ICT in the UK is something I have been actively doing for some time now. Promoting NZ wine though has a somewhat slightly better flavour to it. Cheers.
