Want a date for next Friday night?
It's your chance to get personal. With five major varietals from New Zealand, that is.
There will be five different tables.
Where you'll find five different grapes.
And five very well-informed people to talk with you about the personality of each grape.
All in all, you'll taste at least 15 New Zealand wines -- three wines made from each of the five grapes -- ranging from dry Riesling to fruity Pinot Noir to iconic Sauvignon Blanc.
The best part?
The pourers will help you see -- and taste -- what really differentiates a Riesling from a Sauvignon Blanc from a Pinot Gris from a Pinot Noir.
Because when it comes to dating, it's all about personality.
Come and try a few on.
You'll find your match.

DAILY TIDBIT:
The government of New Zealand sponsors a project called Falcons for Grapes in Marlborough. The idea is to record data from GPS devices attached to the falcons to demonstrate whether falcons can survive and settle in the human-made vineyard environment. Researchers will also analyze the relationship between falcons and smaller birds in order to assess potential damage to vineyards.
