Sileni Estates wines with Nigel Avery

Sileni nigel

We got a kiwi man on our podcast! (That means he’s from New Zealand.)

Ladies and gentlemen?  Let us introduce you to the glory that is New Zealand wines from Sileni Estates.  When in doubt, buy all their stuff.  Srsly.

Nigel Avery, our guest for this show, is from this New Zealand based winery, Sileni Estates, and taught us a bunch of stuff about his family, their wines, and the weightlifting.

So...many...nummy...wines

So…many…nummy…wines

We drank the 2014 The Straits Sauvignon Blanc, 2015 Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc, NANO Pinot Noir Hawkes Bay and the super-duper-amazing-go-ahead-and-buy-this-for-us-for-Christmas-no-wait-our-birthdays-are-sooner 2014 Sileni Reserve The Plateau Pinot Noir.

We can easily say that of all the winery offerings we’ve imbibed here on Screw It! that this winery is our hands-down favorite.  Not only did we discover whites we actually like (what?!?!?), we also found reds that match the whites for their greatness.

In a nut shell?  BUY THIS WINE.  NOW.

Ants! Ants are running under this man's skin!

Ants! Ants are running under this man’s skin! And he’s not flexing.  For realz, yo.

Nigel is also another Screw It! first in that he’s the first professional athlete we’ve had on our show.  He competed in the Sydney Olympics and came in 18th…then got 17th.  Interesting story there.  Also he got a stack of medals in the Commonwealth something or other us Americans don’t understand.  Nevertheless, drinking Sileni Estates wines will make you have arms like this guy.

(This statement is not approved by Sileni Estates wine.)

More importantly?  Now you can know the difference between “cleaning” and “snatching” from a pro.

Guh! So cute!

Guh! So cute!

Is the NANO the perfect wine portion?  Perfect for the cute!

NANO is the ideal portion size for trying Sileni Estates wines for the first time and sneaking them into the theaters…not like Screw It! condones any of that kind of nonsense.  But look!  They come with their own glass!

Now let’s get super serious and talk about the Sileni Reserve The Plateau Pinot Noir Hawke’s Bay 2014.  With a name as long as that, you know it’s yummy.  And, ohhhhhhhh, it is.  We got to try an exclusive bottle here on Screw It! and we can honestly say, spend the twenty or so bucks on this bottle.  It’s truly worth it.

 

That not enough for you? Check out the recipe cards!

That not enough for you? Check out the recipe cards!

How neat is this?  Sileni Estates also gives you recipe cards so you know what/how to cook and which Sileni Estates wines are best.  We’d love to hear your feedback, Screw It!ers.  Let us know if these are as delicious as they sound!  Please?

Remember to like Sileni Estate wines on the Facebooks so you can get prizes!!!

Gosh, Lana and Dawn!  I’ve heard all about the amazing Sileni Estates wines, but where do I buy them?  Here you go!

(And, surprisingly enough, Fantasy Flight Games Center serves the NANO Sauvingnon Blanc for an appalling amount of money.  Get a full bottle instead at one of these stores.)
