    It's way more "robust"---> (?)
    Compared to the CA (somewhat premium) brands/vintages, they almost taste a little diluted, like you poured some water in the glass first. Compared to this at least. But whadda I know.

  5. a wine maker who one global awards said to me once...John...you cant make great wine out of average grapes...tru dat....there are shiraz in Aust that willl blow your socks off but arnt maintstream for sale...there are pinots in NZ that will leave you speechless...wine finality depends on grapes, rainfall, conditions, winemaker,watering system, thus concentration...only a winemaker can fuck up natures process...true dat too...But whadda i know.

    You left out a big one... the soil. They say that about the finest French Champagnes.

    It works for onions. I do know that.

  8. I'm at top of the south island, Takaka. Been trading full-time since 2004. Always traded futures but have dabbled in everything over the years. Most of the time its just been Asian futures products.

    With all my best,
