Hi ,

A World Class Tasting of the World's Greatest Sweet Wine
Dunedin wine lover Chris Staynes celebrated his 60th in style with a tasting of Chateau d'Yquem from 1946 to 2006.  Raymond was invited.  Read his sugar-coated review

Fine Wine Tastings Feature at Regional Wines
Taste great, fine wines at Regional.  Schlumberger Alsace, William Fevre Chablis 2008, the 2006 Guigal 'La La' Cote-Roties.  These are the planet's best!
It's not all 'over the top' stuff, as we have Te Mata's new 'Woodthorpe's, the exciting and new varieties from Spade Oak in Gisborne, and Villa Maria's brand spanking new 'Single Vineyard' wines in tastings at $30.00 pp or less
