Welcome to the first edition of “Soaked”, our weekly update (or blog) on matters vinous. The aim will be to keep you up to date with the world of wine and give you a guide to the wines that I have tasted at trade and other exclusive tastings. Given the popularity and quality of all things Kiwi in wine (not cricket though), this edition of Soaked takes a visit to the recent Taste of New Zealand wine fairs. It is boom times for the New Zealand wine industry that has undergone an even more dramatic expansion than the Australian wine industry over the past five years. This years tasting saw more than 70 wineries exhibiting their wares, held over two days, the consistency and quality of the wines on tasting was very impressive.
