UNITED WE TASTE: Session 12 New Zealand Double Island of Diverse Wine

Summer is just around the corner there is no other white wine that smells like summer in a glass than New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. But you can get more than Kiwi on the palate from wines from New Zealand. I am excited to explore New Zealand’s diversity with a local and with a few global trotting wine professionals.

United WE TASTE: The goal is to inspire connection, promote peer wine education, and provide hope to the wine community near and far. And if you have the means and if it’s available to you, please SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL WINE SHOPS and POP SHOPS* during these difficult times and to promote more virtual events for the future. Check out United We Taste feature on Wine Enthusiast digital.
