Corporate Cabs had approximately 5,000 magazines being provided by publishers and being taken out of their vehicles by their customers (both Mens and Womens magazines) every month. The ‘ME Magazine’ concept was developed to provide interesting quick reads - so whether a Cab transfer was 5 minutes or an hour, there was time to read an entire article in the magazine. The content inside had to be current, exciting and inspirational. Having just published Issue 4, we are now in a position where we are confident in the content, and have enough feedback to see that ME Magazine is a successful format, in turn helping our advertisers to be successful. We have now doubled our Distribution into the high end Hotel, Lodge and Apartment sectors in New Zealand. We welcome your support and involvement with ME!

Servilles Academy, Queen Street, Auckland. Above Middle & Above Right: Servilles Hair Salons
Experience the Servilles Award Winning Style forty years ago, a young boy from Bayswater on Auckland’s North Shore, embarked on his journey to change the face of New Zealand Hairdressing. Paul Serville, founder and director of the multi-awardwinning salon group is often credited with putting New Zealand hairdressing on the international map. He celebrates his 43rd anniversary in hairdressing this year and today his successful Servilles Group, consists of Servilles Hair Salons, The Servilles Academy, New Zealand’s leading hairdressing training academy and the recently launched Servilles Business Programme, an innovative business management programme created by Paul specifically for the hairdressing industry.
ME Magazine now follows a structured category format: ME - New Zealand Entrepreneurs, Pioneers in cool industries, ME Women and Men and Amusing New Zealanders.
Paul, with his wife Jacci, have grown the first Servilles Salon opened in 1984 into five luxury, world class hair salons that are recognised and respected around the world. Servilles was created with a vision to produce beautiful hair and to provide quality hairdressing training to the highest standard. Reflecting the values to continually innovate and to inspire creativity and technical excellence. Even from a young age, Paul has always recognised that hairdressing is about change and Servilles began to gain a reputation for anticipating - if not defining fashion trends. Today Servilles stylists are known for their expert cuts, colours and most importantly individual style, understanding each client’s needs, they bring bringing passion and skill to every cut. Servilles are considered the pioneers who changed the old concept of having your hair done into a total pampering experience, known for
their stunning salon design as they are their beautiful cuts, colours and styles. The stylish new concept salons, Servilles Newmarket and Takapuna continue to attract recognition for their innovative design, both in New Zealand and internationally. Servilles is the only New Zealand salon to receive a prestigious salon design award from Estetica World, the respected international magazine, and named as one of the top ten salons in the world for outstanding salon design. Servilles Newmarket is continually described as the blueprint for future New Zealand salons. “We made an uncompromising commitment to the architectural and interior design of the new salon” says Paul, who designed the salons with friend and New York architect David Howell. A departure from conventional salon design, they challenge the way clients think about the hairdressing experience. Servilles are consistently setting new standards of luxury, style and client service. Paul created New Zealand’s first salon colour lounge with a true colour bar. In the colour lounge, clients can relax in an area away from the busy salon environment. It replicates a real bar where the stylist orders the colour description from the bartender who prepares the clients colour cocktail. Large plasma screens show the latest international fashion collections or exciting behind the scenes footage from Servilles latest shows and collection shoots, while clients are offered a hotel-style directory of services, from food and beverages to a manicure, while waiting for their colour to process. “I love the idea of changing colours and ambience, and even different music according to the different dynamics within the salon. for example, when clients are having their hair cut it can be more upbeat
whereas in the wellbeing area the lighting is dimmed and the music is more conducive to relaxation and scalp massage” says Paul. Servilles as a business is now moving beyond salons, with the core focus now centred around education. In August last year Servilles opened a brand new, state of the art, hairdressing educational centre and head office, spread over three floors on Queen Street in Auckland’s CBD where Paul continues to present training seminars and hairdressing demonstrations for the students and stylists alike. He produces creative cutting collections and international shows, mentors salon owners, assisting international companies in building hairdressing academies and now, with the launch of the brand new Salon Business Programme, the list is endless. With an inspirational leader and award-winning brand behind them, it’s only fitting that the salon team continue to excel in their industry and 2011 is no exception. Servilles cleaned up yet again with their third consecutive New Zealand Hairdresser of the year title at the prestigious L’oreal Colour Trophy awards, also taking out Hairdresser of the Year runner-up and Salon of the Year for Servilles Albany. for the second year running, Servilles Academy of Hairdressing has been awarded Education organisation of the Year at the annual Schwarzkopf Professional Hair Expo Awards in Sydney and Paul Serville became the first New Zealander to be inducted into the Australasian Hairdressing Hall of fame. With such success in just the space of a year, this is a true reflection of a brand which is passionate about beautiful hair, exceptional service and creating an inspirational salon environment.

The highly anticipated new restaurant - fISH, opened on the 30th of August. A partnership between Hilton Auckland Hotel and the Nourish Group, fISH is headed by renowned New Zealand chef Simon Gault and his protégé of 16 years Shane Yardley. fISH features a large outdoor dining area and gas fire place, floor to ceiling windows and warm timber tones throughout. The fit out is also much warmer and more up to date than the previous White Restaurant. We tried the Clevedon oysters as an entrée and for the main, Yardley’s take on the classic “Surf & Turf”- Savanah eye fillet with crayfish, sous vide carrots, chorizo croquette and Yardley bordelaise. for dessert we were treated to a personal display by the sous chef preparing the Nitro chocolate mousse. This is world-class dining in a location that truly showcases the best of Waitemata, and for you smokers, there’s a handy balcony with fantastic views, close to the dining area, where you can slip quietly out with your glass of champers and enjoy the scenery!

The food was mouth-wateringly exquisite, with three courses on offer. Each dish a highly crafted combination of fresh seasonal ingredients presented as their own stylised masterpieces and offered with a glass of Church Road wine – the flavours worked wonderfully and as we took a sip of our wine we decided that life just doesn’t get any better!
The Red Hummingbird is Luke Dallow’s newest bar in the heart of Auckland city in federal Street. A curious mix of a local pub meets cocktail lounge with a decor to keep you talking for hours. Showcasing a collection of vintage penthouse magazines, stuffed animals, a huge Tiki graffiti and nick-nacks from around the world creates a stunning and exciting place to catch up with friends. The menu is small but tasty, perfect to share and pick at with a wine from a list full of favourites. An easy place to loose track of time, the cocktails are excellent, Broken Basil, a mix of broken shed vodka, basil, passionfruit and apple juice combined with the decor took me to the tropics and a Red Hummingbird Cocktail while sitting in the giant birdcage just has to be done!
2010 Red Deer Marlborough Sounds Sauvignon Blanc RRP $22 from a small, remote vineyard on the Marlborough Sounds. Clean and fresh on the nose with classic gooseberry, lime and guava aromas that verge on tropical fruit. It has a mouth-filling palate with oodles of freshness but with some softer, rounded edges. Again we see green fruit, lime skin and lime juice and a finish that reminded me of Schweppes Bitter Lemon. It promises more than it delivers, finishing a little short and lacking the concentration to be a very good wine. Nevertheless I enjoyed the weight of the wine along with the crispness. Great if you are looking for a simple, easy going style of Marlborough Sauvignon. 3.5/5 2010 Red Deer Marlborough Sounds Gewurztraminer RRP $26 This is a cool climate style of the grape with the difficult name and one that is satisfying, if standard. It has typical Gewurztraminer aromas, very aromatic with lychee, peach, rose petal and ginger. on the palate it expands with a textural fatness while still retaining its freshness. It’s medium dry and the alcohol is in balance (ie you can’t feel the heat), which can be a problem with Gewurztraminer, but not in this case. A pretty wine in a drink-now style that’s not intended for aging. 3.5/5 46
2011 Amisfield Sauvignon Blanc, Central otago RRP $25 Hugely popular with locals in my hometown of Queenstown. Pale lemon green in colour owing to the fact that this is fresh from the tank, only having been picked in March. It has aromas of ripe pear, fruit salad and kiwi fruit. on drinking, its youthfulness is again highlighted with searing acidity that will need time to settle. There’s citrus, green apple and kiwi fruit flavours on the palate. The sweeter fruits that the nose hints at will emerge with a little more time. 3/5
2011 Amisfield Saignée Rosé, Central otago RRP $30 Nothing makes me happier than seeing the new rosés on the shelves as now we say goodbye to winter and hello to sun. This example is bursting with bright aromas of red fruits, candy floss, fruit tea, violets and melon. It’s exuberant in the mouth, with cranberry, pink grapefruit and redcurrant and strikes a lovely balance of freshness and rounded softness. Needs a little time to settle but will be good summer drinking. 3.5/5
PAUL TUDGAy VISITS BURN CoTTAGE Sometimes a bottle of wine needs to stimulate the mind as well as the taste buds. Burn Cottage Pinot Noir does just that. It’s produced by a vastly experienced team who are patient in the vineyard and who refuse to compromise. The wine is packaged in a sleek, black bottle with a label influenced by an 18th century fairy tale, unusual enough to make you take a second look and fascinating enough to inspire you to peek at what’s inside. Burn Cottage vineyard is nestled in a sheltered valley near Cromwell, Central otago. The first release, the Burn Cottage Pinot Noir 2009, has already sold out, a problem, says General Manager Claire Mulholland, but a good problem. The vineyard was planted in 2002. Typically fruit is taken from new vines after 3 to 5 years. At Burn Cottage they waited 7 years until they were finally happy with the quality of the crop. Exacting standards abound in the vineyard and the winery with no filtration, no added tartaric acid and no fining. This wine is made in a very natural, ‘let it do its own thing’ way. The vineyard is owned by Chicago wine distributor Marquis Sauvage and is bio-dynamic. He was quick to employ the services of Ted Lemon, an American winemaker of stellar reputation, famous in the wine world as the man who took over management of a Burgundy producer at the age of 25, an incredibly rare achievement. Claire Mulholland is well known in Central otago having paid her dues at Chard farm and Gibbston Valley. She also took over at the prestigious Martinborough Vineyard before returning to Central. She
acts as associate winemaker at Burn Cottage, with Ted at the helm.The label is inspired by the fairy tale ‘The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily’ by Goethe which was a major inspiration to the work of Rudolf Steiner, the creator of bio-dynamics. Burn Cottage Vineyard, 115 Burn Cottage Road, Lake Dunstan 9384, New Zealand • Phone: 03-445-3670 www.burncottage.com
2009 Burn Cottage Pinot Noir, Central otago RRP $60 The developing nose hints at black cherry, charred oak and cooked game but it also has lighter floral and red fruit notes. There’s cardamom, cola and balsamic aromas also. on the palate it is expansive and buoyant, leaning towards a silkiness that will develop with time. There are flavours of cherry, strawberries, game, cola and sweet spice. It’s pulls up a little short on the palate to be exceptional, but there is great promise here for the future. It’s very good drinking now but will age well over 5 years. 4/5 Sorry Morton Estate! In our previous edition of ME Magazine we reported the Morton Estate 2000 Blanc de Blanc Methode Traditionelle had won an incorrect award. The wine actually won a gold medal at the Speigelau International Wine Competition, not the San francisco Wine Competition. The Cellar Aged range also won awards in the Speigelau competition.
