Chinese Takeout with an Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc and the Weekly Menu#WorldWineTravel

This month we are visiting the New Zealand Island of Marlborough with our World Wine Travel Group.

I found a bottle of Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc that I poured one night when we ordered in Chinese.

Saying Farewell to Summer with a Craggy Range Sauvignon Blanc #WorldWineTravel

The World Wine Travel group has exited Australia and have now stopped on New Zealand.  Australia was a tough country for many of us as we struggled to source wines from the more remote areas of the land down under.

New Zealand appears as if it is going to be problematic for me as well.  While I had no problems finding wine in Michigan from the Martinborough and Marlborough regions, I have had no luck finding wines from New Zealand outside of those areas.

Perfect summertime living as Soup Swappers and Winophiles collide.....
