Wine Events

While this event is scheduled for 2007, since it's already mid-November, that's really not that far away, especially considering we're talking about the dates of 29 January - 1 February 2007.
Here's more about this wine event from Kalgoorlie: Zealand is now readying itself to host Pinot Noir 2007.
The four-day pinot-fest is being held in Wellington between January 29 and February 1, 2007, and is expected to build on the successes of the past two events held there. Indeed, if all goes to plan, organisers say it will be the largest event of its type ever hosted by the New Zealand wine industry.
Pinot noir is the most widely planted red wine grape in New Zealand. There are about 4000ha of pinot noir on its north and south islands, a figure that dwarfs the entire area of vines in Tasmania by a factor of four. Indeed, since 2004, New Zealand wine has seen an increase in total pinot noir plantings of around 1500ha.
Export sales of the variety, meanwhile, have tripled. Such fascination with pinot
noir has been channelled into a host of vibrant workshops in recent times. Central Otago's Pinot Noir Celebration was a resounding success earlier in the year, and Wellington's Pinot Noir 2007 appears likely to continue that.
There's also registration and more information available at the Pinot Noir 2007 web site.
