Squawking Magpie

This week's wine was Squawking Magpie's pinot gris and it was very good. I saw an advertisement for a different variety of Squawking Magpie -- I believe their pinot noir -- which proclaimed it won a recent competition in New Zealand. The pinot gris tasted like cherries and was very dry. The winery is in Hawkes Bay and it's too bad that I won't return to the east coast of the north island.
