    Tim and Jason on top of the world! Oh wait, actually on top of Mt Vernon - but looks just as good! Beautiful view of Marlborough behind.

We Make Wine... and We Bike.

This summer, Tim and Jason have been enjoying the Marlborough and Golden Bay regions (and sunny weather!) atop their bikes. Tim has always been an avid rider, and Jason is fast following suit. There are so many beautiful spots to go riding close by -- is a great way to see parts of New Zealand. And check out their jazzy Astro gear!
