		<description><![CDATA[I promised at Christmas that I would make an early draft of the intro and first chapter of my next book available here at the end of January. That deadline slipped a little (no surprises there), and I haven&#8217;t finished the first chapter, but here&#8217;s a draft of an introduction. Working title is Lemmy, final [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since we&#8217;re in catching up mode, here a couple of articles I&#8217;ve been meaning to make available for some time. The first is a paper [PDF] on Chinese truffles commissioned by Gastronomica (the prestigious US food and culture journal) in 2008, which draws heavily on my experiences in China in 2007. It discusses the impact [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stunning, that&#8217;s what Nicholas said. The winemaker, that is, about our first syrah. Quite made my day, I can tell you. I tasted a barrel sample today, and I have to say I thought it was pretty good &#8212; though naturally I&#8217;m biased. The pinot&#8217;s not bad either: a lot more colour and complexity than [...]]]></description>

Plenty of effort at the other place, but naught here since the pinot harvest (which went well, thanks to help from friends). We have a barrel of pinot and a half barrel of syrah to bottle in a couple of months [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pinot harvested today, thanks to the good offices of friends, family, an Italian student winemaker and an itinerant American drummer. Two big barrels full, so we should do better than last year, but I&#8217;ll know the numbers in a day or so when the grapes have been crushed. Meanwhile, the syrah sits in the vines, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I ride the farm bike (four wheels, a buggered exhaust so it roars rather than purrs) round the vineyard several times a day at the moment, in the hope that this will deter voracious avian thieves from feasting on my crop. Last year, they reduced a tonne to 300kg, but this year (fingers duly crossed) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The guilt part is that the other place has been taking up all my blogging, and OTF has suffered. So here&#8217;s a quick update, stimulated by yesterday&#8217;s gadget acquisition. I was fiddling around in Google Maps, and there &#8212; lo and behold &#8212; it appears that Google&#8217;s Street View is already available for Ram Paddock [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Friday was a big day. I took some friends of ours up to the Daniel Schuster winery (well worth a visit by anyone passing through Waipara), and we were able to taste a barrel sample of Limestone Hills&#8217; first wine (thanks Tom and Marie). A big moment. Nervous, moi? A little, perhaps, so don&#8217;t expect [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I promised a final tally for our truffle season. It&#8217;s taken me far too long to post, but I can report that we produced 228g this year, off just one tree. If we could match that yield across the whole truffiere, we&#8217;d be doing rather well… We didn&#8217;t sell any, but a couple of guests [...]]]></description>

I could do with a few more gigs like that, but my waistline might disagree. Web version of the article is here. Meanwhile, on the farm, I&#8217;m struggling to [...]]]></description>
