The Kiwis have a way with wine, that’s for sure. From fresh, grassy, near-tropical Sauvignon Blancs to Pinot Noir packed with fruit, this little island nation of All Blacks fame is a wine-making powerhouse. We’re delighted to welcome back Joyce Austin of New Zealand Boutique Wines, all the way from Auckland, to host a seated tasting of New Zealand’s most exciting new wines.

There’s an intriguing theme at this tasting. We’re showing the wines blind and grouping them in pairs: 2 Sauvignon Blancs, 2 Pinot Gris, 2 Rieslings, 2 Pinot Noirs, plus a few surprises. One wine will be modestly priced, the other more expensive.  Which wine will be the most impressive?  Prepare for lots of fun with the results sure to raise a few eyebrows.

Our last tasting with Joyce was a sell out. Don’t miss it – she’s travelling straight from picking the berries in the 2009 harvest and is brimming with stories. Join us for what promises to be a wonderful night.
