WINERY LAUNCHES HELPLINE TO ASSIST KIWIS WITH PAIRINGS

Choosing the right wine for the festive season can be stressful, but Villa Maria has come up with a solution. The award-winning winery has just launched its helpline service to assist Kiwis with their wine queries.

“We put a lot of effort into the Christmas season, and ultimately we aim to impress family and friends. But, unless we’re wine connoisseurs, it can be daunting finding that perfect wine to gift or match with food,” said Nick Picone, chief winemaker, Villa Maria.

To use the service, Kiwis just need to tag their wine-related questions with #VillaMariaHelpline via Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, and one of Villa Maria’s food and wine expert will respond. The helpline will run until Friday, 6 January 2017.
