HAWKE'S BAY
Hawke Bay, the name given to the body of water that stretches from the Mahia Peninsula
to Cape Kidnappers, looks like it's been bitten out of the North Island's eastern flank.
Add an apostrophe and an 's' and you've got a region that stretches south and inland to
include fertile farmland, surf beaches, mountainous ranges and forests. With food, wine
and architecture the prevailing obsessions, it's smugly comfortable but thoroughly ap-
pealing, and is best viewed through a rosé-tinted wineglass.
