Really!!!
Hahaha. It's good! Better than the California stuff.
 
It's way more "robust"---> (?)
Compared to the CA (somewhat premium) brands/vintages, they almost taste a little diluted, like you poured some water in the glass first. Compared to this at least. But whadda I know.

You left out a big one... the soil. They say that about the finest French Champagnes.

It works for onions. I do know that.

 
I'm at top of the south island, Takaka. Been trading full-time since 2004. Always traded futures but have dabbled in everything over the years. Most of the time its just been Asian futures products.

With all my best,
