Wine and food adventures in San Francisco and around the world
Taste of New Zealand on Wednesday June 8th
I'm a member of the Museum of Modern Art here in San Francisco, but every six months or so, I have even more of a reason to go visit. Next Wednesday, June 8th, the museum again plays host to Taste of New Zealand, a wine tasting of over 50 New Zealand wineries paired with hors d¹oeuvres and the option of a special tasting of Sauvignon Blancs with a neverending supply of oysters courtesy of our local Hog Island Oyster company. The best thing about this event is that in addition to being about publicity for these winemakers, it's a fundraiser for charity.
Learn about the charity and purchase tickets to the event at the Taproot Foundation.

do they have those in New Zealand?
Chas
wrote:Sam, yes, they do have white pinots. Although I have yet to find them here in Austin. When I was in the Central Otago region on the south island of NZ early in the year I found several white pinots. (Pinot Gris). While I don't have great notes, I do recall liking one from Akarua.
