Lucky me! The New Zealand Consulate has invited me to their Pinot Noir seminar and trade tasting event on May 1st. It's open to the public from 7-9:30 for $50.
Here's a list of wines you can expect notes on next week. None of them are available in government stores yet, and I will check with the organizers about their status. As much as I relish the opportunity to try special wines for my own interest, it's just plain mean to tempt you with great wines you can't buy. But if they're that good, I might do it anyway!
Allan Scott Marlborough Pinot Noir 2005
Pegasus Bay Waipara Pinot Noir 2004
Waimea Nelson Pinot Noir 2005
Gravitas Marlborough Pinot Noir 2005
Quartz Reef Central Otago Pinot Noir 2005
Palliser Estate Martinborough Pinot Noir 2005
Carrick Central Otago Pinot Noir 2003
Te Kairanga Reserve Martinborough Pinot Noir 2003
My philosophy is that any yahoo with a credit card can buy a great bottle of wine when money's no object, so the excitement for me comes from finding a great value, and sharing it with you. After all, a terrific wine is made better when shared with friends. (Same with cocktails!)
