Schubert in Wellington

Posed enticingly on a street plan of Wellington city centre, this wine cork bearing the name of my favourite composer (after Bach) is something I pocketed last night as a souvenir of a wonderful father-and-daughter evening out. We dined at a restaurant/ wine bar called Noble Rot, off Cuba Street, and it was one of the best meals I've had in Wellington, or anywhere – perfectly balanced, well-thought-out dishes, full of harmonising flavours, and a mighty impressive wine list, including, among pages of reds, a Schubert Selection Pinot Noir from Martinborough.
It had to be the Schubert – and it turned out to be a good choice: gloriously fragrant, light but full of flavour, a joy to drink. We raised many a glass, to each other, to present happiness, to the future... As I said, a wonderful evening. I look forward to the next one.
