Has anyone been to New Zealand or have a favorite winery there? Planning a trip there soon and trying to figure out if there are any hot stops.

My wife and I have been really into skin contact wines recently. I’m trying to build up a bit more of a selection for the summer. Any recommendations for skin contact wines that ya’ll have enjoyed?? Cheers to the heat of summer!

I am going to Paris and Corsica this summer is anyone has any food, wine, or any other recs, would love to hear them!

Looking for some/any recommendations for a couple of bottles to bring for a dinner party I was invited to — the twist is that we as guests have no idea what the theme or menu for the dinner will be until we arrive that evening. I’ve got some time, but off the top of my head I was thinking champagne or Gruner Veltliner (not just because I’m having a GV moment) since these tend to pair pretty well with a number of different cuisines. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I have found I love OR Pinot noir (high acid/low tannin). Looking for recs on other wines with a similar profile to look out for. Thanks!
