Just before the holidays, there are many trade and press wine tastings. I was at the Columbia Tower, enjoying wine, fantastic appetizers and the stupendous view when a colleague tugged on my sleeve. “You’ve got to try these great Greek wines!”
Today I’m talking about Down Under, but not Australia. Even farther down under: About 1,300 miles southeast of Australia lies New Zealand.
Back in the ’70s, people drank ros/, but it was a sweet pink wine. As consumers became educated and palates became more sophisticated, the old American ros/ became unfashionable and quietly disappeared off the grocery shelves.

2007 is almost over. We are making the last of the holiday cookies, and we have given our presents, sent our cards and cooked our traditional meals. The New Year is upon us, and 2008 promises to be something pretty special. It’s a time to reflect and make those New Year’s resolutions.
