  Kim crawford in Parnell . Of all the wineries in New Zealand this is my favorite, its classy , and serene ..but in a nice way , no faces pulled if your not over 40 and a buff.  cute bar staff a bonus! and some of the nicest  wines, sweet range  included.. its not as busy as the  overated ones down the road but , much more worth a visit .

  im not a huge fan of  trapsing around vineyards, but  really enjoyed here.

  Heading over to NZ on Saturday travelling around both islands for 4 weeks, we already have some favourite Sauvignon Blancs from the Marlborough region, looking forward to tasting many more

  wev'e just come back from 2 weeks in nz spent 3 days in marlbourough unfortunatly it was over chrissy and everyone was shut, the vineyard views were awesome. worked our way up to Hawkes bay great spot, but would you believe our mission was to visit wineries and we didn't do one. Drank alot of nz wines though, had some nasties, drank alot of pinot & merlot, Mission (oldest winery in nz) from hawkws bay was our fav, considering we really aren't pinot or merlot drinkers we gave them a good nudge. The shiraz just didn't cut it for us light in colour and tasted soapy. We are planning another trip 4 weeks I think next time & it won't be over chrissy so we will check out the cellar doors then. Have fun Fay I'm enviouse
