Some quality Australian and New Zealand wines to watch out for this week

I suppose I had better just come out and admit it, I’m not a big fan of sauvignon blanc.

Despite the enormous popularity of the grape variety this is actually quite a common bias among wine journalists — almost as common as the bias against chardonnay is among consumers.

However, unlike many consumers I meet who never (knowingly) drink chardonnay I would never claim to dislike all sauvignon.
