Firstly I would like to thank the judging panel of the IWSC for short listinghttp://www.unscrewed.co.nz for ‘Wine Blogger of the Year 2012′.
In celebration of being short listed I taste another winner. The Bannock Brae Barrel Selection Pinot Noir 2010 recently took the honour of Wine of the Show, New Zealand International Wine Show 2012.
Jayson’s roots in wine began when his father literally dragged him round France and injected his passion into him. From the age of 8 his family took month long holidays in France travelling through all regions and sampling their wine. UnScrewed has reinvented the concept of wine tasting in New Zealand and along the way found a new and willing audience. In addition to encouraging straightforward wine tasting, Jayson educates viewers about the effects of regional factors (soil, sun, wind) on wine flavours, and how to buy wine.
