Wine & Dine: Pairing Fine Food with Fine Wine in Fine Countries; Thursday, 4th Period [08/15].
"We shall continue our globe-hopping around to various different wine regions of the world this week," Ignis said, perhaps stating the obvious because, yes, very good, Ignis, that was rather the whole idea behind the class, "with a voyage to New Zealand, for a consideration of their impressive and burgeoning wine culture. Because while wine has been cultivated in this small Pacific island nation for some time, it is only in the last quarter century and change that it has been gaining some worldwide recognition, especially in their sauvignon blancs and pinot noirs, growing from just shy of 100 wineries only thirty years ago to nearly seven times that much today.
"Today, we will be visiting Waiheke Island specifically, and visiting Mudbrick, a fairly recent family winery with a heavy emphasis on their food as well as their wine, on an estate that should cater nicely to everyone's particular inclinations. Their selections are considerable, their restaurant impressive, and I'm sure we'll have quite a pleasant time with it."
