John,
Thank you for the interesting musings. Indeed, it seems to be
fairly unanimous that Felton Road makes one of the (if not the) best
Pinots of Central Otago. It appears that your travels were confined to
the South Island, which is too bad since IMO Martinborough Vineyards
makes a very credible Pinot Noir and was the best that I encountered
during my travels in Kiwiland.
