Syrah Winter Warming

 

This ‘crisp’ weather is urging you to succumb to those fuzzy socks and wooly scarves. Warm up this month with a superb Syrah or Shiraz from La Barrique.

Join us for a delightful night of tasting these deliciously full bodied and elegant reds with some Beef Burguignon- the slow cooked, succulent meat supplied by none other than our Butchers on Basset. Free recipes and samples on the night will send you home very happy indeed.

Bon appétit
The Team at La Barrique

 Tasting Invitation:
Free Tatsing
Thursday 13th June from 4pm to 7pm
154 Remuera road

Rugby World Pop

 
Call us crazy, but with this warm spell and
pre-Rugby World Cup buzz and excitement
in Auckland, with construction every way
you turn and preparations for the ensuing
arrival of 1,000’s of deep-pocketed rugby
tourists (we hope) has made us all thirsty
for a damn fine bottle of bubbles.

Little Italian Job

 
Like you, the Luscious Lushes are feeling the biting chill that is blasting Auckland, so much that we are close to burning our wine boxes to warm up our cold 'pattuties'! Unfortunately, there’s no fireplace on the premises … yet … however, a more available solution is to PULL THE CORK on a rich heart-warming bottle of vino rosso! Yes, a cheeky little Italian job.

Pulling The Cork at La Barrique

Here we are, the Luscious Lushes, sitting around in the office after another crazy-busy day of wine hawking in Auckland. The big question now: what to write..er..drink..er write for the fabulous Verve mag?!?


We did briefly contemplate serious wine talk, but truly folks, there’s 100’s of serious publications out there, so for inspiration (thanks to an enquiring client) we pulled the cork on a vivacious little VIOGNIER (VIDAL-FLEURY 2009). Beautifully matched with leftover Coromandel Co. smoked fish and Wild Wheat ciabatta. So, we’ve decided to share the joy of what gems we’ve drunk of late… this is a going to be our version of a blog – a “magblog”!

Bottles, Bubbles & Barrels

... LaBarrique introduces Juliette Lynch as seen in Verve Magazine.

La Barrique is a familiar piece of the landscape to all those living and working in the Remuera-Newmarket area. The charming corner wine shop has stood the test of time, providing fine wines from New Zealand and around the world to the people of Auckland since 1991.

Recently though, changes have been afoot, with Pam Reid, La Barrique’s owner retiring, and local wine talent Juliette Lynch taking over the management of the business. Energetic, enthusiastic and passionate about wine, Juliette has heaps of ideas  and plans to tweak the business here and there - thereby improving and adding to what  is already one of New Zealand’s top wine shops.
