Winemaker Tony Bish in the Urban Winery cellar inspects a glass of white wine, with barrels of wine in the background, illuminated by natural Hawke's Bay light from a window.
Larry McKenna the 'King of Pinot Noir' sits in an armchair next to a window, holding a cup of coffee in a cozy living room with a red wall, wooden bookshelf filled with books, and decorative items on the mantle.
Judy Dobson, a great female winemaker smiles while standing among grapevines with bunches of grapes, backlit by sunlight.

“It's writing that takes a series of risks, almost sinks itself, and somehow gets away with it. I couldn’t stop returning to it.”

— Charlotte Grimshaw, Katherine Mansfield Prize Judge
