The All Blacks: not big girls' blouses
The All Blacks: not big girls' blouses

We have much to thank New Zealand for: the Lord of the Rings scenery; a rugby team which stops our own from ever getting cocky and some cracking Sauvignon Blancs.

The latter will be on proud display at tonight’s New Zealand Wine Tasting at Prestonfield in Edinburgh. Run by New Zealand Winegrowers, this annual event offers the opportunity to taste the 2009 vintage and meet the people who make it.

Tickets cost £15. The event is held in the plush stables at Prestonfield just a hop, skip and a jump from Rhubarb restaurant. The event starts at 6.30pm and finishes at 8.30pm by which time you may well be feeling a little peckish.
