FROM THE ASHES

Crown Range Cellar’s Auckland wine lounge is now open for tastings (by appointment) and private events. Set to launch last March, it’s been closed for a rebuild after a devastating fire. In the meantime not only has exstonyridge exec David Jackson joined as CEO, they also have two new wines: the Moon Rock Waitaki Pinot Gris ($39.99) and the Fame Methode Traditionnelle ($69.99). crownrangecellar.com
