Yahoo News is reporting that a tremor took place north of New Zealand under the Pacific. Hope none of our comrades were affected. (Did you lose any bottles, St. Helier?)

Thanks for the concern Dan.
Actually, NZ is on the south side of the Pacific "Rim of Fire" - lots of volcanoes (literally thousands inactive, but many very active.)
Auckland city is built over a relatively active volcanic field (last major eruption about 1,000 years ago) - it is not a matter of "if" there will be another eruption - but "when"!
Coupled with that is the fact that several major fault lines run in / around / through the country - Capital; city Wellington is built on a major fault, and a biggie is overdue.
This one occurred several hundred miles to the north - we had no effects whatever - didn't even raise a ripple on my glass (Shingle Peak Sauvignon Blanc - served with lightly fried fish - yummm!)
