Billecart-Salmon Champagne
On offer at this lunch will be our Billecart-Salmon Brut Réserve Champagne. A fan favourite that needs little introduction, it’s hailed by some as the King of entry-level NV Champagnes. In the words of champagne expert and acclaimed wine-writer Tyson Stelzer, “Billecart NV is one of champagne’s most precise house wines and my all time fave of the entry NVs. The house of Billecart is the finest fizz on the shelves this year, not by concentration, power or presence but by the fairy-touch of understated delicacy and crystal-clear fidelity.”
It will be served with food befitting of this wine made by the talented team at Manzo – Risotto with lemon, capers & goat’s cheese granite or Salmon galantine with peas, mint and smoked salmon sauce.
SPCA
This event is more than just a showcase of fashion. It’s an opportunity to make a difference. A portion of the ticket sales will be donated to the SPCA. An incredible charity whom engage, educate and build relationships with our communities and government, improving animal welfare in New Zealand.

Some of France’s wine regions sure have rock star status – Bordeaux, Burgundy, Chablis, or Champagne – but every wine lover also knows, when it comes to stretching your wine dollar, you really don’t need to look much further than the Rhône Valley.

Maison Billecart-Salmon
Situated in the Champagne heartland of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, near Epernay, Billecart-Salmon has been under family ownership and management since its founding in 1818. It is a family-run winery with a majority share owned by the Billecart family and a minority holding is held by the Frey group, itself a family-owned business – they are owners of Château La Lagune in Bordeaux, Paul Jaboulet Ainé in the Rhône, and Château Corton C in Burgundy.
The Billecart family still lives on site and there remains a strong sense of long-visioned family continuity at play. Today there’s the seventh generation Mathieu Roland-Billecart overseeing everyday business as CEO, working closely with Antoine and François.
Champagne of the Millennium
On 12 June 1999, a jury of international experts came together to judge which champagne would be awarded the grand title of “Champagne of the Millennium” following a blind tasting.
Among the 150 champagnes in competition were the two Billecart-Salmon vintages, the Nicolas François Brut 1959 and the Nicolas François Brut 1961. When the results were announced, these two vintages took both first and second place
In his book The Great Tasting, Richard Juhlin wrote of the winner: “The perfect champagne, 1959 Billecart-Salmon, had everything one would expect of a luxury champagne, but in a seldom seen concentration and simultaneously with harmonious balance. A totally perfect champagne in its category, with a smoky, honey-smooth extremely long taste of walnut, orange blossom and chocolate. All who ever get to drink this fabulous wine just have to love the pleasure it grants. When you study the end results it is striking to see how obvious the victory was.”
It was awarded a final mark of 98.5 out of 100.

We’re lucky this year to be hosting Matt Willmer, Mollydooker’s left-hand man for this hemisphere for the most important week of the year for them – the one with International left-handers day on the 13th!

Date: Tuesday, 13 August (International Left Handers Day!)
Time: From 2:30PM

2021 Mollydooker Two Left Feet Shiraz / Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot
2022 Mollydooker The Boxer Shiraz

2021 Mollydooker Carnival of Love Shiraz

Meet Mollydooker
If you haven’t yet met Mollydooker, let us introduce you… A powerhouse in every sense of the word, Mollydooker has been a crowd-pleasing, wow-inducing, glass-filling favourite in the Dhall & Nash portfolio for years.
These unapologetically lush and vivacious wines are everything their quirky labels make them out to be – loud, bold and utterly scrumptious. With a look to turn the head and a taste to delight the tongue, there’s nothing this Aussie superstar can’t achieve.

More on Molly’
What’s with all the ‘Left’ references?
Mollydooker is Aussie’ slang for a left-hander, which has been an oddly strong theme throughout this brand’s entire journey. Both of the winemakers who started the label were Mollydookers, but it’s more than that! You’ll notice all Mollydooker staff will only shake your left hand, the Boxer Shiraz (their most popular bottling) has two left-handed gloves in his depiction, and is part of the ‘Lefty’ series. Wine critic Robert Parker helped to boost this brand to international recognition, which they found particularly poignant given he too is a left-hander and they’ve named their wine room after him: ‘Nosey Parker Experience.’ Mollydooker also employs an unusually high number of Mollydookers – despite only making up around 10% of the population, around 50% of their winery staff just so happen to be left-handed.

Join Harbour Society, Farro & Dhall & Nash for a journey to the sunny valleys of California, 15 floors above Auckland City with a wine dinner like no other at SO/ Auckland.
Enjoy a three-course dinner while you sip, swirl and savour handpicked wines by the Californian wine sensation – Bogle Family Vineyards. Jody Bogle – the sixth generation of the family working their land – will be joining via a live video feed to chat and answer any questions you may have about their wine, their history and their vineyards.
Bogle is a tried-and-true favourite in New Zealand, opening the eyes of many a kiwi to the delights of bold Caifornian Chardonnay, but this producer has more arrows in its quiver than just this liquid gold. Come along and try more from their impressive range (as well as their famous chardonnay!)
A table with sweeping views of Auckland city, fragrant food and delicious wine will set the scene among good company (and maybe even a few prizes).

An Evening of Fine Brunello’s from Col d’Orcia
2024-12-02 16:30 | Auckland Office, Dhall & Nash Fine Wines, Unit 6/1 Cross Street, Auckland, 1010, New Zealand
Join me for a delightful experience exploring one of the greatest microclimates in the World – the exceptional wines of the small Tuscan enclave of Brunello de Montalcino.
Col d’Orcia literally means the hill overlooking the Orcia River. The Orcia River marks the South West border of the Brunello di Montalcino territory and the name of the farm is intrinsically linked to the physical location were the vineyards are planted. It is the mission of Col d’Orcia to produce the best possible wines that the exceptional combination of soil and climate of this part of Montalcino can achieve.
We will be exploring six Brunello’s from one of the greatest producers from Montalcino – Col D’orcia. The ticket includes a Masterclass hosted by Puneet Dhall in our sensory and education room 30ml sensory pour per wine
Following the tasting you are welcome to stay in the Dhall & Nash lounge and further enjoy the wines with some light charcuterie.
