TASTE
Epicdog
The humble hotdog has been given new life in
Dunedin, where Epicdog (472 George Street) is doing
its darnedest to satisfy all tastes – including vegans.
Whether or not you opt for Epic’s own blend of pork
and beef sausage, their range of ingredients – beef
chilli, grilled kimchi, pineapple salsa, Epic cheese sauce
– will have you drooling.
Just when you thought you had seen everything
Christchurch’s Riverside Market had to offer, the
Giesen brothers decided to make an appearance.
Their Kaiser Brew Garden will be the only working
microbrewery in the heart of the city, with a beautiful
roof terrace garden bar above the market. Offering
Bavarian-inspired hospitality, the well-known wine
producers have brought in master brewer Dicky Fife,
who we hear has developed his Kaiser beers from the
Giesen family’s handwritten family recipe.

Negroni cocktail by The Spirits Workshop
Looking to serve something special at your silly season
event? Look to Negroni Special by Curiosity Gin (The
Spirits Workshop, 11 Sandyford Street). Whether
you choose to enjoy it neat with a few ice cubes
(recommended) or with equal parts Campari and sweet
vermouth for that traditional negroni cocktail, you’ll soon
see why it was in the top 35 gins at the 2017 New York
Wine and Spirits Competition. This is one drop you’ll want
to take with you into 2020.
Every Christmas table needs a couple of bottles to help wash
down the delight that is the mother-in-law’s trifle. Luckily,
the New Zealand Wine Awards have just been held, so we
have a few top tips for you. Central Otago’s organic winery
Peregrine picked up a trifecta of awards for its Peregrine Pinot
Noir 2017, Peregrine Riesling 2018 and Saddleback Pinot Noir
2018. But if it’s the supreme award winner you’re after, try a
bottle of Villa Maria Cellar Selection Syrah Hawke’s Bay 2018.
