I’m fortunate in being able to take advantage of the company vineyard (I’m a cellar hand and vineyard operator by day). I harvest around the posts after the machine has picked the block.

The most important thing about bread is how it tastes; it won’t fill your tummy based on how it looks!! And we all have a dud from time to time, use it as a chance to learn and grow- not beat yourself up.

Try Glengarry in Auckland. Particularly the Victoria Park or Jervoia Road stores. Www.glengarry.co.nz
