Today is Waitangi Day in New Zealand which is an important date in NZ's history when the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, took place - New Zealand's founding document in 1840. Therefore I thought I'd get reacquainted with an old favourite over the weekend - Wither Hills Sauv Blanc ($12). Enjoy your day off everyone in NZ!

It's a pale lemon colour on the eye with a herbaceous nose mixed with gooseberry and lemongrass. One whiff and it took me back to my university days in Auckland! It's full of flavour and lively on the palate yet not in your face. All these years later and my palate still gets along with this wine well.

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #tcweekdaywine #tctastingnotes
