Have you had almost enough of this cold weather? Starting to look at the outdoors and bbq with longing and counting down the days? Or perhaps that's just me... I content myself with planning recipes that I intend to cook over the warmer months and you know what goes with food. That's right, wine! Marlborough in New Zealand are known for their wines and a new brand called Toi Toi has two new offerings. One called Rata, is a lighter alcohol wine sauvignon blanc. Created for market demand, this lighter wines is named after the Southern Rata, a large native flowering tree predominantly found in the South Island of New Zealand. With 8.5% alcohol it is said to go well with Asian dishes, white meat and seafood and is ideal for lunches. Toi Toi wines are multi award winners but are also very reasonably priced.
Thanks to Toi Toi Wines, eight lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will win a bottle of The Rata Sauvignon Blanc and a bottle of The Toi Toi Sauvignon Blanc. For a chance to win all you have to do is tell me what you'd serve with the wine! Simply add your answer as a comment to the story. The competition ends at midnight AEST on the 18th of August, 2012.

Best of luck!
Lots of love,
