I've been meaning to try a few Pinot Noirs from NZ too, but hey, there are only so many drinking hours in the day. I'll get round to it soon! Talking of which, I note you have Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir on your site - how did you find it? Nice site by the way. I may ask permission to borrow a photo from time to time! Alastair Hi Sylvain

I am French guy from the Loire Valley but I really love NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Plus I agree, the labels are really neat. For more kiwis labels, check my website: http://www.sowine.com/Inspirations_vin_NZ1_ENG.htm For landscapes, it there: http://www.sowine.com/Imagination_NZ_1_ENG.htm Cheers, -Sylvain PS / The Pinot Noir from Dog point is also brilliant.
