Recent posts around NZ Sauv Blanc's, and advice from Lord St Helier gave me the courage to expand the range of kiwi SB's in my shop. After buying in Wither Hills (thnx Andrew....superb!), Palliser, Mt Riley, Giesen & Montana, I am pretty chuffed the lot sold out inside two weeks. I have many customers who do not think twice about paying $20 - $30AUD for a red, in fact it is a large % of my sales, but whites are another story. Nevertheless, many of my regs took the plunge, shelled out b/w 20 & 30 of their hard earned and were rewarded with these taste sensations from across the pond.
Only one ignoramus suggested I was being un-Australian stocking NZ and French wines. He no longer feels welcome in my shop !
Next stop is a boutique range from James Murdoch, more Giesen and Wither Hills, and might have to try just a few more. :>)
