Which got me to thinking about the SinDig coming up with the 50th...

Oh, I'm totally thinking of the SinDig....We will want to document that. Most definitely.

I went to my "local" last night: http://www.menus.co.nz/backbencher/index.html?RID=33It's 1 minute from my work, and is frequented by various politicians (hence the name). I had 3 (or was it 4?) glasses of NZ sauvignon blanc - a good night

That place looks really cool!!

The wine shop I went to last Friday night for a flight of Australian reds is having a New Zealand night tomorrow night. Should I go? Are NZ wines tasty?? Thanks!

Ooh yes, go! We're mainly famous for our whites (particularly Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay &, more recently, Pinot Gris), but we have some pretty good Pinot Noirs too. Look for Pinot Noir from the Otago region, and whites from Marlborough & Martinborough (a cool little wine area about an hour from where I live). If you go, let me know what you think....

Here's what we'll be tasting.....(now I get emails from wineries and wine shops):

Omaka Springs 2003 Pinot Gris, Omaka Valley

Spy Valley 2004 Sauvgnon Blanc, Marlborough
Greenstone Pointe 2003 Pinot Noir, New Zealand
Te Mata 2002 Cab/Merlot Woodthorpe, Hawke's Bay

Also New Zealand!!
Okahu 2000 Ninety Mile (Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, Merlot), North Island
