A wee bit of plonk

After the rigors of the QC Track and ahead of the asceticism of my upcoming wellness retreat, it seemed some indulgence was in order…and whaddaya know, New Zealand wine country just happen to lay between the two.  

Hans Herzog's pinot gris: as you can tell by looking at it, this is definitely not your ordinary PG -- heaven in a glass! 

Long the HH flagship wine: Spirit of Marlborough, a heady blend of merlot & cabernet franc, "lavishly rich yet elegant"...Bordeaux on the Rapaura!
