Ep 104: New Zealand with Winemaker George Geris Pt 1

Wine for Normal People - A podcast by Elizabeth Schneider

I had the opportunity to ask great questions of George Geris, winemaker for the large New Zealand winery, Villa Maria. He has been all over the world learning his craft but has been a winemaker in New Zealand for 17 years, making Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. He's laid back, smart, cool and full of important info about New Zealand. 

In Part 1 of 2, we discuss George's background, what makes New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc so special, and a ton of other topics about this dual island wine hit parade. 

And unlike other interview we've done before, even though M.C. Ice wasn't there, he's a major part of this podcast...listen and see.
