In this instance the goose is New Zealand & the egg is that damned Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. When will it stop? THEY simply cannot get enough of it! By THEY, I mean the ladies & mum & dad Jones. It is a fricking phenomenon!
DON’T YOU KNOW WE HAVE PERFECTLY GOOD SAUVIGNON BLANC HERE IN AUSTRALIA? FOR GOD’S SAKE, BUY SOME GOOD AUSSIE BOOZE!
I am not saying there are no good NZ Savvies, no no no! There are some fine examples that are well worth drinking but there is also some absolute cat’s piss out there and it doesn’t seem to stop them. The worst thing about it is that you cannot educate them! THEY won’t listen! THEY have gone bloody mad! Am I the only f…k..g sane person alive? Would someone tell them about O’Leary Walker from Adelaide Hills? Do you f…k..g remember Nepenthe?
Now is probably the time to mention I have just got in a cleanskin Marlborough Sav & it is selling great! So are the other 5 on the list. Margins are good, suppliers are happy and the customer is very happy!
Am I f…k..g crazy? I am the only one not happy about it and it should have me laughing all the way to the bank.
