5 things to love about new zealand wine

Posted on March 28, 2018 by grapefriend • 3 Comments

When it comes to New Zealand wine, you probably think about the punchy, tropical, zesty Sauvignon Blancs. Fair enough, since that’s 72% of their production. People there sometimes call it Savvy B which I thought was sort of funny, but then a winemaker told me to never cheapen it like that. I’d rather have my … Continue reading →

Whenever I take my nephews there, they always get the buffalo chicken version which is pretty damn awesome. My sister attempted to … Continue reading →

Scandal is back tonight, and a while ago they released this teaser to get everyone all excited: All quite exciting that Olivia’s taking a break from the drama to kick it except for one thing: she’s drinking red wine on the beach. VILE! Now I love Liv’s obsession with wine, but she’s gotta veer away … Continue reading →

Just got back from an incredible trip to Alto Adige, a wine region nestled in the super high, super gorgeous Tyrolean Alps. I’ve loved the region ever since I had my first sip of crispy Kerner a few years ago, so I was stoked to head there in person to drink a lot more. Here were … Continue reading →
