Tuesday | September 30th | 6:30pm-8:00pm | $35 | Ray's Event Room
Join us for a special event with Erica Crawford, co-founder and owner of Loveblock Wines. Best known for co-founding Kim Crawford Wines, Erica is now leading the way in organic and sustainable winemaking with Loveblock. She’ll share her inspiring journey from building one of New Zealand’s most successful wine brands to her passion for organic farming and creating wines that reflect the land. Taste through Loveblock’s beautifully crafted, vegan-friendly wines and hear firsthand from one of the most influential voices in modern winemaking.
And as a special treat, you’ll get a sneak preview of the Loveblock Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc, shipped directly from New Zealand. It’s never been available in the country before, and will be available for exclusive pre-order purchasing at this event, with hopes to land stateside in early 2026. We’ll also explore a side-by-side comparative tasting of how Tee is made — showcasing Erica’s innovative approach to sustainable winemaking!
Wines to be sampled this evening:
Loveblock Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Loveblock “Tee” Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Loveblock Marlborough Pinot Gris
Loveblock Central Otago Pinot Noir
Loveblock Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc
