An advocate for the region’s wines (NZ)

In October last year, one of our wine columns was headlined, What we need is a wine-tasting centre. Our argument was that the smaller wine-producing regions of Central Otago and Martinborough did a far better job of promoting their wines than Marlborough does. We need a specialist wine centre dedicated to showcasing as many local wines as possible. While this has yet to happen, the arrival of Wino’s is a breath of fresh air, focusing as it does on fine and Old-World wines, reports The Marlborough Express.
