New Zealand Wine Navigator with David Harlow, West Regional Manager Part 2

“Like so many other adventures, New Zealand Wine Navigator began with friends, family, and a few excellent bottles of wine. Graham Painter, Founder and CEO, was visiting family in the States and was sent out to select a nice wine for dinner. Wanting to show off some of the outstanding wines New Zealand has to offer, he went from one wine store to the next searching for something special; beyond the big-name Sauvignon Blancs. A deep, rich Pinot Noir or Syrah perhaps. How about a superb Riesling...? Surely, with the breadth of fine wines being produced in New Zealand, there was something special to be found. That fruitless search inspired a mission.”

“Today, New Zealand Wine Navigator is America’s #1 New Zealand wine specialist, satisfying wine lovers across the United States with special, hard-to-find New Zealand wines from small, family estate producers. They ship the wine to a temperature-controlled warehouse in California ready for quick and cost-effective delivery to your home or office.”

“Graham set out to source the finest small-producer wines New Zealand has to offer. Small production, premium, family estate wines were the benchmarks. NZ Wine Navigator works in partnership with New Zealand wineries to help them get their wines out to the world because small, local production is the backbone of New Zealand’s economy.”

“To achieve the perfect selection of wines in their portfolio, NZ Wine Navigator enlisted the help of Cameron Douglas, their Master Sommelier. His carefully curated selection of premium labels from New Zealand is ready for you to drink now or cellar. If you are after exceptional wines from small out-of-the-way winemakers from a small, out-of-the-way country, you’re in the right place! Welcome.”
