A GREAT NZ WINE BLOG SITE

GOOD MORNING!!!!

Every morning (well, that is most mornings to be accurate) I get up and check my email, then Google News to see what's up in the world, and finally I go to Sue Courtney's neat blog on NZ Wines at the link below. I have mentioned Sue before and even encluded one of her in depth writings on the history of NZ wines on this blog in the past.. Sue has a very informative post EVERY day on NZ wines or wine related information. So, if you want to really be up to date on NZ wines you should bookmark her "Blog of vinous ramblings" --(even the name is cute). She even adds a few jokes occasionally like this latest one that she saw in the Auckland main daily paper-The NZ Herald.

"Had to laugh on reading the humor column Sideswipe in this morning's NZ Herald. It went something like this.

A foreign language couple from Europe, only in the country for three weeks, asked the host what to bring to a party they had been invited to.
"Oh, sauvignon blanc would be nice," said the host to the husband of the European couple.
"What kind of party is it," exclaimed the wife when her husband said he was asked to bring along 'seven young blondes'. ( From Sue Courtney blog of March 13th, 2008)

Anyways I due suggest you visit the links below as Sue really gets around to taste a lot of NZ wine and give good reviews of the wines as well as general wine related information about the wine industry here in NZ. She also edits the wine of the week site as well which is really the same home page as her blog but with tons of news on all things wine in NZ. So check both of these urls out soon and pass on the links to others with interest in NZ wines.

Jim,I was so hoping to show up on your doorstep and invite myself in to share a glass of that fine-tasting wine you've been raving about in Hawkes Bay. But, alas, to my dismay, I see from the last message on your blog posting, that you are returning to Nashville for nearly the same 5 weeks that I will be visiting Vanuatu and New Zealand. I leave Nashville on Fri, 3-21 to join my daughter in Vanuatu,where she has been working with conservationists to save the Hawksbill sea turtles. After 2 wks, we will move on to New Zealand , arriving 4-9. We plan to travel the North island from head to toe , before I leave for home on 4-24. Drop me a line , when you have a moment, so I know you received this.......Thanks, Mary Ann Snowden `````````````````````````````````````````````
