Dumb hey! About time we started supporting our own wine industry. After all they are so much better than kiwi wines anyway. So sick of sifting through the hundreds of NZ wines to find a small selection of our own. Why do we keep buying NZ Wines?

And for the uninitiated - the strong fruit fragrance is the beauty of NZ SB in my oh so very humble and uneducated opinion. At the risk of having rotten fruit thrown at my head, I suggest you try a local SB spritzer in one of the wine bar/restaurants overlooking Lake Taupo on a gloriously sunny early spring day :) For all you Marl SB baggers, for a great quaffer try the Looking Glass 2010.
