Michael Cooper's Buyer’s Guide to New Zealand Wine 2012

Publishers Hachette NZ are shortly to publish this title which for me is my annual wine bible. They have just supplied me with details of Michael's tour (see below) so if you can why not drop in and have a word with the man himself, New Zealand's leading wine writer, pick up a copy of the book and taste a wine or two.
