Celia Hay, Director of the New Zealand School of Food and Wine and well-respected chef and wine educator, has written a new book on New Zealand wine. The New Zealand Wine Guide is a concise and accessible guide for people wishing to discover New Zealand's distinctive world of wine. It provides a long-overdue NZQA textbook for students of wine as well as an up to date resource for those who just like to drink wine. Never far from the sea, New Zealand's long, warm, summers with cool nights, provide a unique environment for growing grapes. New Zealand wine is often described as having a "brightness of fruit" with refreshing acidity especially in Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and newly fashionable grapes such as Albarino and Gruner Veltliner. Celia has used a selection of local maps as well as explanations of vine growing, and winemaking processes. The book is beautifully illustrated with photographs by well-known vineyard photographer-winemaker Kevin Judd of Greywacke Estate. Also included are extensive recommendations of wines to taste that express the different styles of winemaking and their regional character.
Celia Hay is a qualified chef and holds the Wine and Spirit Trust WSET Diploma of Wine and a Master of Education (distinction) from the University of Canterbury. She is founder and director of the New Zealand School of Food and Wine and has been teaching about wine since the New Zealand School of Food and Wine was established in Christchurch in 1995. Following the Christchurch earthquakes, the New Zealand School of Food and Wine is re-located to Auckland's Viaduct Precinct. Celia Hay has also written How to grow your hospitality business, a guide for owners and managers (2000, 2006 2nd ed). A 3rd edition will be published in 2015. www.foodandwine.co.nz
