ICYMI Here's what you missed last Saturday. Welcome to this week's RECORK.
Two ancient islands, half a world away.
Both born of fire, and brimstone, and violent upheaval. The Earth, forcing its way from deep within the depths of hell itself, to the surface. Creating a new land of rock and heat.
These treacherous lands; Sicily and New Zealand, may not seem like they share similarities, but look closer and you'll see these two islands on opposite sides of the planet (literally), share more and just being surrounded by water.
The wines bare that out; both lighter styled reds, and big fat glorious white wines that highlight the volcanic terrior beautifully. Moreover, these wines deliver more bang for the buck than you'll normally see in these styles.
Which was your favorite of the weekend?
