Zanzibar in Dunedin is predominately a gin bar with over 100 gins that can be tasted. They have just started to serve Gisborne Garagiste Chardonnay, Gewurtztraminer and Viognier. I do recommend a visit if you are in Dunedin.

Food Matches presented by Gisborne Garagiste Wine Company to Gisborne Wine Awards panel of judges.
Food
and wine matches- here's what we recommend as delivered whilst hosting the
Judges at the Gisborne Regional Wine Awards
A good hearty pork and chicken Terrine to go with the Viognier and Gewurztraminer -does it work - both rich wines so need a depth of flavour to balance the dish , both wines slightly savoury and dry/off dry, works on the richness of the wine.
Tuna Tartare - acidity from the grapefruit base, richness and savoury flavours from the Tuna , a dollop of sour cream- works so perfectly with Chardonnay
succulent fruit flavours that linger in the mouth. Again would really like to thank Ingrid Walsh for the preparation of these dishes.

To finish a Venison Carpaccio served with the Garagiste St Laurent and Cabernet Merlot Malbec . What's not to like with the savoury gamey flavours. The tannins in the wines are matched with the meat leaving sweet,
succulent fruit flavours that linger in the mouth. Again would really like to thank Ingrid Walsh for the preparation of these dishes.
