Today I drove from Motueka to Blenheim after two days of hiking in the Abel Tasman National Park where my path wove in and out of temperate rain forest, tidal pools, tidal flats, sandy beaches, warm humid coves, and dry warm rocky points.
I met with the owner of Gravitas Wines today over a spit cooked lamb a Sauvignon Blanc called Wandering Piano. It is a name I like very much. I always considered pianos to be kind of sessile creatures and not prone to perambulating. This one has been on the move for over 14 years apparently - Kazakstan and London to name a few. A client whose name I cannot mention has comissioned me to do a painting inspired by the Sauvignon Blanc. I am to drink and paint.
Tomorrow I return again to the same vineyard to learn more and taste the soil.
