You are cordially invited to attend the next tasting of the Triangle Chapter of the American Wine Society. We welcome adults of all ages and any level of knowledge of wine, from novice to expert!
THEME: Wines of New Zealand
New Zealand's wine production pales in significance when compared with its profile as a wine-producing country. New Zealanders currently produce approximately 16 million gallons of wine annually, equaling just 0.2% of the global total. Yet they are well known and sought after all over the world. Their racy, vibrant sauvignon blancs first rose to international acclaim during the mid- to late 1980's. Since then, New Zealand has proved it has similar potential for producing other high quality wines, particularly Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling.
New Zealand, situated in the southern hemisphere between the 32nd and 47th parallels, is the southern most wine region. Located 1000 miles from the nearest land mass (Australia), New Zealand is made up of two long islands plus many small offshore islands. Its isolation and its maritime climate make the viticultural conditions and its wines unique. New Zealand's cool climate is its greatest asset for wine production. Come join us as we sample some of these cool climate gems from way down under.
And meet our hosts Joe and Ryan at Wine 101 in Wake Forest!
