[JancisRobinson.com] New Zealand goes all aromatic | Tasting Notes & Wine Reviews from ...: Slightly less expensive, Gladstone Vineyard Pinot Gris 2007 Wairarapa (about £11 Great Western Wine) has Alsace weight but is usefully bone dry with lots of personality, while Stoneleigh, Rapaura Series Pinot Gris 2007 Marlborough, from the vast Pernod Ricard stable which produces Montana, is good value in soft, comforting Alsace style at around £10 a bottle. All of these wines are a useful addition to the white wines on offer throughout the world and are more varied in style than an equivalent number of Pinot Gris from, say, Friuli or Oregon, where most locals are prouder of their Pinot Gris than of their Chardonnay.

[NZ Wine of the Week and Sue Courtney's Vinous Ramblings] Sue Courtney's Blog of Vinous Ramblings - Archive February 2010: Sandalford Margaret River Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 ($22) was the red wine buy of the night. After a couple of Italians it was instantly Australia on the nose with a bouquet of blackcurrant, eucalyptus, mint and dried red earth following through to the velvety smooth yet powerful and grunty palate with skilful use of American oak.

[Guy Fawkes' blog] Lobby's Cosy Downing Street Drinks with Dave - Guy Fawkes' blog: “The stark reality is that the defendants are alleged to have taken advantage of the allowances scheme designed to enable them to perform their important public duties as MPs to commit crimes of dishonesty to which parliamentary immunity or privilege does not, has never, and, we believe, never would attach. If the allegations are proved, and we emphasise, if they are proved, then those against whom they are proved will have committed ordinary crimes.”

[NZ Wine of the Week and Sue Courtney's Vinous Ramblings] Sue Courtney's Blog of Vinous Ramblings - Archive March 2009: I had tasted the Ivicevich last September and was impressed with it back then but the top-notch quality of the two Matakana wines was a tasty surprise. However, to my palate the Matakana Estate edged out the Ascension, even though it is the best 'The Ascent' made to date - it is overall a lighter style and thus more versatile with a wide range of food style, which is exactly what Ascension really wants for their on-site Oak Grill restaurant.
