78. Wet Jacket Wine, Central Otago Wine Region, New Zealand

If you love nature, conservation, stunning wildnerness, spectacular landscapes, oh and fabulous wine – then this is the episode for you.

Today we are talking all about the most southern wine tasting and wine cellar door in the world.  It is owned by Greg Hay and these are his words.

"Why on earth would you name a wine brand after one of the most remotest, wettest, farthrest from an actual vineyard place in New Zealand?"

That place is called Wet Jacket Arm and the wine brand is Wet Jacket Wine

We share the fascinating history of the name, why Greg loves it so much and how he has come to build one of the most popular wine brands from Central Otago, New Zealand.

Of course Lyle geeks out on why the wine tastes so good, and we share all about Wet Jackets very unique way of sharing those wines with people who can’t get to visit the tasting rooms, oh and I almost forgot to tell you we also divulge where you can taste the wines if you are in this part of New Zealand and it is another venue with a spectacular view that only this area of New Zealand can deliver.

Stay listening to the end to hear where Greg recommended a brand new restaurant to have dinner (nothing like a local to give you the best info) and of course the wine and views that we enjoyed on the waterfront in Queenstown.

To sum up this episode – pristine nature, delicious wine, charismatic locals and dramatic awe-inspiring views.
