gnasher16 29,616 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) I cant help but wonder what the urgency is for a 10 pound bottle of plonk. For a number of years now ive had an account with one of the oldest wine merchants in Britain i can certainly ask them for you but id have my doubts they could help they wouldnt be able to make enough money off it I,ll have the occasional drop of red at the dinner table other than that i cant stand the stuff but its a nice little interest to make a couple of quid off.

It's for my girlfriends daughter who has only weeks left to live, it came out in conversation she loves the stuff and hasn't seen it for a while. I said I'd do everything possible to find her some!

Enter your area see where supplies it. If not contact them directly Again, really appreciate but it is a different version (may be the only thing I can get though) and the site only serves the US.

shovel leaner 7,648 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Good luck in your search , I hope you find her a bottle . So sad . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deker 3,450 Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I am truly moved and grateful for many of the recent comments. Also offers of help. I'm not sure if this isn't a bit too much of an ask but with the THL massive helping I remain hopeful. Many thanks to you all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,352 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Mate that changes everything... That's a good a reason to buy a bottle as I've ever heard. I'll look about aswell. Not many places sell kiwi wines here but I know a couple of places, I can ask Also contact them as said directly and explain why. They WILL help you 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,352 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Their phone number in NZ 0064 09 4126666. Call them up at 9-10pm tonight 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shovel leaner 7,648 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 The boss is away at the moment, he is a big Sauvignon drinker / enthusiast, he’s got a cellar full of the stuff, he’s back at the weekend and I will ask him if he’s got a bottle . I know he likes Newzealand wine I see the cardboard boxes on the fire waiting to be burnt. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deker 3,450 Posted September 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 This has been a saga to say the least, Nobilo in NZ has been no help at all. Thanks to tremendous efforts from members here (they have been thanked in PM's) it seems a bottle is on its way from Europe. I am eternally grateful to all who spent a lot of their time and made tremendous efforts to help, there are some really great people on THL. THANK YOU! 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
