Montana winners
- The Wellingtonista
- So recently we asked you where you would drink Montana's new-label Sav Blanc, and you told us. The randomizer.org threw the numbers 2 and 8 at us, so congratulations to Cat and Marshall. If you could please send an email to johubris at gmail with your address, I'll get your wine out to you. Cheers!

Everyone wants a piece of the pie
- The Wellingtonista
- So today the Dom Post has a story about how Verboom Badges in Left Bank is in trouble with MacDonalds for using its Georgie Pie brand. This story perplexes me for many reasons, but mostly because I'm wondering why the hell anyone would want to bring back Georgie Pie in the first place. Aren't there enough good pies in Wellington for you lot already?

First class citizens at last
- The Wellingtonista
- If you're a pedestrian, sometimes it seems as though you're the last to be considered. Other modes of transport get all the big bucks while we get to stumble along on our own, catching our heels on the cobblestones and dodging the seemingly interminable earthworks. So it's nice to see that there's a dedicated Cycling and Walking journey planner from the Greater Wellington Regional Council
