Earlier this year we took a month off and, heading across the globe, spent over three weeks in New Zealand - a beautiful place to visit. The quality of the food and drink was sublime - fresh vegetables with high quality meat and fish. Whilst well known for wine, there was also a wide range of organic and designer beers.
One of the great discoveries in advance was that the Dr could drink wine made with the Pinot Noir grape - other reds having an unfortunate impact on her usual perky chops. So since we have been back we have been keeping an eye out for NZ wines. Usually they are on the treat end of the price scale for our wine buying - but there is a great deal at Morrison's at the moment which is giving us regular access to NZ wine.
For four quid (down from a tenner) - you can get the Crux Sauvignon Blanc which Tim Atkin in the Guardian described as a crunchy, gooseberry-scented wine - a classic sunshine white.
Here's hoping that a few bottles of this will bring us that Indian summer which has been promised.
