 > What's an excellent sauvignon blanc?
 GJ> A Kiwi one.  On the Air NZ plane crossing the Tasman, I was given
 GJ> Sacred Hill SB, 2006, from Pukatapu, Hawkes Bay, which was nice and
 GJ> lemony, with a good body.  I had a couple of glasses.

 ML> Actually, there are some French ones that I kind of like in
 ML> moderation.

I found some Kiwi ones which I quite liked in immoderation.
 

 ML> I've had the very best NZ SBs, and there usually is a touch of that
 ML> aspect, though in some of the better ones and the ones that have been
 ML> tempered with an admixture of Semillon it is much muted.

I am not a cat lover, but neither am I a cat hater, so I don't have an
inherent sensitivity and antipathy towards cat pee.  There are lots of
new Kiwi wineries coming into production, so you may be pleasantly
surprised at what you find when you go there.
 
 GJ> In Mexico I was introduced to an excellent dark beer - Negra Modelo,
 GJ> made by Cervisaria Modelo Anahuag.

 ML> My heart always leaps a little when I see the squat dark bottle.

That was completely new to me, but I shall certainly keep my eyes open
for it in future.  Dark in colour and flavour, a beer with an attitude.
With beer such as that available, why is stuff like Corona the main
Mexican beer sold outside of that country?
