I was intrigued at the suggestion of "classical pinot gris" coming from
cooler climates - such as Italy (!). Many Italian PG's are from very warm
climes, not altogether different to southern France, or parts of California
here. And have the same problem as the CA PG's - too flabby. I haven't had
any EnZed PG, but if it is akin to the wonderful unoaked Chardonnay's from
Marlborough, then sign me up. I'll see what I can track down here. Thanks
for the tip.

Even more enjoyable was the rest of the magazine. On the cover it refers to
"sun drenched Hawke's Bay". I couldn't help but spit out my latte as I
laughed - recalling a weeklong summer surfing trip on the cape above
Gisborne - rain soaked the whole damned time.

The article on Antartica brought back less humorous memories. I was working
in Wellington when the infamous ANZ flight flew into Mt. Erebus. We had a
co-worker on that plane. Sad day.

Cheers -
