Sideways in New Zealand
By Linda Tancs
Movie buffs will recall the 2004 movie “Sideways,” about two men searching for the meaning of life amidst the California vineyards. Fast forward 12 hours (as the plane flies) and discover the fledgling wine country of New Zealand in Martinborough. The first fruits were planted there in 1978. Since then, nearly 40 wineries have sprung up, giving rise to an award-winning pinot noir. You can sample that varietal and other international winners at the annual Toast Martinborough food and wine festival, to be held this year on 16 November. Better hurry before the last ticket sells.
