Hawke’s Bay apple crop budding well
Hot, sunny weather in Hawke’s Bay is budding well for another high quality apple crop as the trees reach full bloom.
Boulgaris has become a household name for transacting luxury Auckland property deals and his appearances on the TV series Location Location Location.
A fine wine enthusiast, he says his palate has changed over time. “I’ve experienced a couple of the local vineyards and was in fact introduced to my first Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay at Elephant Hill three years ago. Of course now I’m hooked.”
Hawke’s Bay wineries have donated 40 wine lots for the November 14 auction, to be staged in the atrium of the Hawke’s Bay Opera House in Hastings. A traditional feature lot, this year’s art work will be a painting by Napier-based Martin Poppelwell, one of New Zealand’s most in-demand artists.
Now in its 24th year, the auction raised more than $100,000 for Cranford Hospice in 2014.
