I hope everyone is excited about the NZ Red category, which I know seems broad, but the availability of NZ Red Wine has some of our non-big-city dwellers having a tougher go at it. I also have heard from someone in Spain that has no access to NZ wine at all.
Nonetheless, I expect some great choices, as usual from our tenacious Wine Blog Wednesday crew. My personal goal is to learn a lot more about winemaking in the land of the Kiwi, and to taste something great and write about it. I have access to a broad range of NZ tastes, being near San Francisco.
Here are some great resources for both information and wine purchasing that I've come across.
Southern Latitude Wines in Carmel: Only down under, S. Africa, Chile, NZ...
Jug Shop: Chuck even has an Australian and NZ newsletter you can sign up for.
NZ Wines: Great source of information
I've already begun getting in some blog URLs, so look for a round up after Jan. 4, 2006.
Happy New Year!
