" WOLF BLASS Gold Label "   Chardonnay, Australia. It is very nice wine, full of flavour....... especially good with fish. Blue cod  Meuniere with Potatoes and Brussels sprouts " LOCHAR ESTATE "  Central Otago  Central Otago Pinot Noir is a popular wine in New Zealand.... We are not big fans of Pinot Noir, It has a nice aroma, is fruity and light which goes well with a nice cheese like CASTELLO, but definitely not with red meat. we prefer French Burgundy wine.................... ...
