New Zealand Wine hosted a tasting in September 2019 at Brooklyn Grange Rooftop Farm in the middle of Brooklyn.
It’s not often one gets to taste wines in such a unique environment.
And as someone who attends a lot of tastings in Manhattan, this setting definitely transported me and my senses in way that doesn’t usually happen in more traditional tasting environments.
Below are some my favorite wines from the event.
