New Zealand: a few photos from the 2007 archive

A glass with a view, Waiheke Island, New Zealand

Five years ago next month the Circle of Wine Writers ran a very successful and extremely memorable trip to New Zealand looking at vineyards from Auckland down to Central Otago. The trip was generously organised by the New Zealand Winegrowers. Here are a few photos from the archive of that trip. I expect more will follow.

Waiheke Island: great visitas

Jouko Mykkänen (Finland) risking all for the art of the photo!
