There is a
wine tasting bar in Queenstown on the order of the one at Whole Foods in
Chantilly.
Only this one is all
New Zealand and Australian wines.
There is even a Penfold’s Grange up for tasting.
$30 NZ to taste 25 ml of the legend.
I also stumbled onto a quirky little bottle called Haan.
The label gives away nothing … “estate wine” is all it says.
When I commented to the staff of the wine bar how much I liked it I was rewarded with the news that it has been a favorite of Robert Parker’s for many years and he has given it a 98.
Here are two Pinot Noirs I liked.
And apropos of nothing except that Pinot goes with lamb … I am bewildered by the scarcity of lamb offerings on the menus here … particularly rack of lamb. You can get lamb rump for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But I have only seen rack of lamb once. Maybe all the legs and chops are excised for export?
