The joyful world of twitter has uncovered a few New Zealand wine ladies that have had thoughts about a Wine Hunks calendar. There’s now discussion about how to make this a reality and that means we’ll have to find a few hotties to put on the calendar – hopefully a la Calendar Girls but instead of Victoria sponge cake it would be grapes and pruning shears covering their vital parts.
Now, fellas might take umbrage to this if they were politically correct so by having a double sided one, we’d please both sexes. And it doesn’t just have to be winemakers – viticulturists, marketers, wine retailers could all have their month.
While they are as yet unaware, Steve Skinner, winemaker at Elephant Hill and Anton Groffen, viticulturist at Framingham would be my picks for the calendar. And Tony Bish of Sacred Hill’s a bit of a silver fox so he’d have to star in it.
I’ll have to ask Kevin Judd of Greywacke if he’ll take the pictures – it’s not his usual subject matter but there would be vines involved so maybe he can be persuaded!
I’d put myself up for the women’s side to show willing – not that anyone would want me in it. I think sales might decline!
So, who should we put in it and how can we make this a reality?
And a percentage of the profits to Christchurch or another charity?
