Earthquake wine

The long weekend is here! Tomorrow is Canterbury Anniversary Day, a regional holiday. So it's as good a time as any to crack open the earthquake wine...

The Day the Ground Moved Like Jelly, a Marlborough sauvignon blanc, was produced to raise money for Canterbury earthquake recovery:

At 4.35am, September 4, 2010, the province of Canterbury was rocked by a 7.1M earthquake causing massive and widespread damage to property and the landscape. The rest of the country rallied around to offer support and much needed financial aid. This wine is part of that fundraising effort.

Thank you Mud House Wines, we're enjoying this refreshing glass of white very much.

Happy Canterbury Day :-)

  1. It's a very nice wine indeed :-) I'd been feeling guilty about not contributing to the appeal funds (had never had change when people were bucket rattling, and never feel hugely comfortable in giving to those "text this number" appeal things), when it appeared in our local Woolworths. We're now on our third bottle because we like it so much! :-D
