Did wine tastings at 21 wineries in New Zealand. So awesome. Was prepared to be blown away by Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs (have drunk them a lot in the States and loved them) but it was the Pinot Noirs that stole the thunder. A few Pinots from Marlborough were excellent (Allan Scott, Clos Henri and Fromm) and almost every Pinot from Central Otago was outstanding (in vague order... Bannock Brae, Wooing Tree, Bald Hills, Mt. Difficulty, Amisfield, Peregrine... and a few more). I'll post photos from some tastings and vineyard lunches when I get my photos organized.
