Central Otago Pinot Noir – Not only has the best reds in the world but the most beautiful region and scenery.
Surfer’s Path – Receiving my pristine, brand new issue of my favourite magazine every two months.
Stelvin – Not just easy to get in to but the juice inside will be 100% taint free.
BBQ & Rose – Chilling on my roof terrace with Janey, a bottle of chilled rose and a couple of killer steaks.
Islay – Cycling around this wonderful island with regular whisky stops at all the magical distilleries.
Test Match Cricket – Sitting in the sunshine watching a full day of cricket with good friends and cold beers.

HATE
Tesco – Especially when they open up in your small friendly seaside town
East Coast Harr – Spending weeks in cold grey mist when the rest of the country is in blazing sunshine.
Plastic Bags – Enough said
Corked Wine – Taking a bottle of your favorite wine to a BYOB restaurant to impress the lady and it smells of wet socks.
Spam – Spending ten minutes every morning deleting junk mail.
The 1st Tee – Teeing off in front of the clubhouse and topping it 10 yards into a bush.

Italy – The people and country, the food, the wine and the coffee is all fantastic (however they still can’t touch us for quality seafood)
Drinking with good Friends – They're always the best times with copious amounts of good drink and quality chat.
Hot Sunny Days – It’s hard to match East Lothian on a hot summer’s day.
Fresh Local Food – From the farm shop, deli, butcher or out of the garden you just can’t beat it.
Beach Holidays – Digging in the sand with the kids, messing in the waves, BBQ dinners and bottle of wine with Moria watching the sunset- it’s all good.
Cheese – It’s hard to beat Cedric’s selection of cheese in the van outside the shop on a Friday.

HATE
Un-Expected Reps – They take up time, and as a result tend not to get the business.
Hangovers – Love the wine but the hangovers are a nightmare, anyone have the cure?
The Gym – Just don’t see the point, you could be outside on the bike, walking on the beach, etc...
Test Match Cricket – Sorry Chriso, great for socializing having a beer and a chat, it just takes so damn long then they all stop for tea. I just don’t get it.
Over Eager Waiters – It’s great to get seamless service, but I hate being pestered.
Bad wine – Corked, oxidized it’s always disappointing and a nightmare when you have nothing else to drink.
