Australia & New Zealand Wines

New Zealand and Australia seem so familiar, but they are far from us as any other point in the world. If you tunnel down through the entire earth, you will emerge off the coast of Western Australia. Actually, you’d have to start tunneling in Bermuda to get close, but you get the point.

One of the magical truths of wine is that the most well-known regions are often the least understood. The Aussie and NZ wines you see in American wine shops are vapid, boring stuff. The great stuff rarely makes it to our shelves. It’s like judging California wines on Two-Buck Chuck.

In this class, we delve into the great Aussie and New Zealand wine regions and introduce you to the great wines you didn’t know existed.
