Marlborough, south island

One plus point of working in the vineyard is that, you get to know of the different varieties of wine...

so we went wine tasting last weekend and visited some eight wineries or so, i wouldnt exactly call myself a sommelier now but it was really an informative trip...i can now differentiate between chardonnay, pinot noir, pinot gris, rose, sauvignon blanc, riesling, spatlese and lots more...

my personal favourite is the german wine of Spatlese, translated as 'late picking', it is of riesling variety and carries a sweet tone in which i love...I bought a bottle from Fromm wineyard and it only costs me nzd26...

on the other hand, im thinking of moving on soon...the adrenaline activities in the southern region of Queenstown are beckoning...

just cant wait....
