Company offers chance to win trip for two to
New Zealand’s wine country
The South Island’s towering mountains and plunging rivers mix
with the North Island’s sun-soaked coastal plains to bring Whole
Foods Market (NASDAQ: WFM) shoppers six amazing wines from New
Zealand, a wine region that continues to surprise and delight wine
lovers.
Wine offerings include everything from a pinot gris with loads
of up-front ripe fruit that’s a perfect pair for piccata to a rich,
well-rounded pinot noir that is a delicious match for a pork loin
with a sour cherry glaze.
“These wines have been handpicked to showcase the flavorful and
exotic variety of wines that come from New Zealand,” said Doug
Bell, global beverage buyer for Whole Foods Market. “Our selection
represents the country’s seven “pillars” of sustainability that
reinforce a commitment to protect the beautiful environment from
where they come and showcase the many flavors of the islands that
feature a wine for every palate.”
Shoppers are invited to visit their Whole Foods Market wine
department by September 30, 2014, to enter to win a 10-night, 9-day
trip for two to New Zealand by matching wine pairings with featured
wines. For more information about this wine trip courtesy of Air

Kim Crawford Pinot Gris—This white has up-front ripe
fruit with peach, cinnamon and pear skin notes and offers a
pleasant minerality.
Oyster Bay Chardonnay—Meyer lemon and tart apple aromas
are found in this sleek, well-balanced white. A whisper of oak
rounds out the fruitiness, adding complexity to the creamy
finish.
Grove Mill Pinot Noir—With aromas of raspberry, this red
has flavors of cherry, cassis and rosemary on the subtly tart
finish.
Villa Maria The Red Blend—Dark chocolate and eucalyptus
are on the nose of this deeply rich red and give way to hints of
mint and black olive.
Sophora Sparkling Cuvée—Rich and ripe, this sparkler has
a lasting creaminess and notes of baked fruits and citrus in the
clean finish.
