Elite Wines - Air New Zealand Award 2016
As Wine-Searcher is a Sponsor of the 30th Air New Zealand Wine Awards I attended the elegant Awards dinner in Auckland, ate Peter Gordon's stunning food and drank the Elite winning wines. In the wine trade this is called "work.".
Thanks to rigorous judging you can be assured of getting a fine wine at reasonable prices. I have linked the wines to Wine-Searcher to show you where to buy the wines, at the best price, nearest to you. Many of these wines are available all over the world.
