Well it was only a matter of time before I commented on the extraordinary selection of white wines and snacks here in New Zealand. I find it ironic that I have landed myself near to what is arguably the finest Sauvignon Blanc growing region in the world. Oh the joy! These kiwis surely love to kick back and have a crisp glass of wine or perfectly frothed pint of beer after a long day at the office or walkabout. Check out the "box wine aisle" at the grocery store! But really, I've noticed how proud and community oriented this place really is. They prefer to consume homegrown before imports when it comes to food & beverage and are very proud of anything kiwi! The fruit is phenomenal and the bread - oh the bread!! Ciabatta is the specialty and it rocks our worlds each and every day. The coffee is a little harder to praise as there is an entire section of ... can I even utter the word ... Nescafe. BUT we've still managed to find some decent drip and there is no shortage of the corner cafe. Prost!
Kim Crawford Sav Blanc out of New Zealand rated highest in Consumer Reports. In fact, all the top rated Sav blancs were from New Zealand.
