Giles Hine - TiZwine.com |
|
Giles is a Pom who emigrated to New Zealand with his Kiwi wife, Sue, and two children, Megan and Tom, in 2006. He previously owned and ran a luxury country house hotel in Gloucestershire, England called Corse Lawn House Hotel. During his 15 year tenure the hotel won numerous awards culminating in it being voted "Country Hotel of the Year 2005" in the very prestigious Good Hotel Guide. One of the features of the hotel was an extensive winelist, the running of which Giles considered to be a "perk of the job"! This love of wine combined with a desire not to work every weekend and most evenings led Giles into the Kiwi wine industry and subsequently to the front office of TiZwine. |

TiZwine.com is the premier information site for New Zealand wine. Here you will find details on every winery in the country. Moreover, there are tasting notes on literally hundreds of wines many of which have been assessed by the team at TiZwine. Every other month we give our “Top Tip”, “Best Buy” and "Consumers Choice" awards to those wines we particularly enjoyed. We also provide extensive profiles on all the NZ wine-growing regions, where to eat, stay, play and taste in these regions as well as how to get there – in fact, everything you need to plan a short break or holiday.
At the same time as encouraging consumers to become more closely involved in wine, we help the wineries and wine-related industries in many varied ways such as point of sale material, classifieds for the sale of new and used equipment and supplies, website development, an information depository and many other services.
So please browse our site. It is growing and hopefully improving all the time.

| Review:
|
A straightforward wine that is very enjoyable and will please many as is highlighted by its Consumers Choice Award. The wine has strong, smokey and spicy aromas that give way to ripe berry fruit flavours and soft tannins.
