Blenheim

Blenheim lies in the heart of New Zealand's Marlborough wine country, so we decided it would be the perfect place to celebrate our second anniversary. This region is heavily celebrated as producing the best wine in New Zealand. On Thursday, we took a full day wine tour to check for ourselves. Below are some pictures from one of the cellars. These wines are kept only for testing, not for sale.


We were lucky to be with a great (all Irish) group and even luckier to have a fantastic tour guide, Chris, who turned out to be the sister of Glenda Davis (one of our WWOOFing hosts in Queenstown). What are the odds!?


The Marlborough region claims to grow the best Sauvignon Blanc grapes in the world. We are allowed to bring three bottles each back to the U.S. for Christmas. We thought they were excellent but a few wineries into the tour everything tasted pretty good! We will decide at Christmas!
