To tie this back to finance, my favorite Pinot within reach of the common man is Mt. Difficulty’s Roaring Meg:
http://www.mtdifficulty.co.nz/catalog/P1442-Roaring-Meg-Pinot-Noir-2007.html

It costs NZ$28, and has won numerous accolades. The Central Otago region is emerging as one of the world’s premier Pinot Noir areas, and this wine shows why.

I think only one SD store carries it (from what I can gather on the web), a place called Louis Carufel Wine Co.

Oh yeah, finance. The exchange rate has swung wildly away from NZ, with the NZD dropping from ~72 cents to ~52 cents in just a couple months. Therefore you should be able to scoop up wines like this at a great price.

That was a well thought out article. The most balanced view of the candidates I have seen written.

I’ve been in NZ for over a year. Prices here are falling, but nowhere near as fast as in SoCal. Many people are still in denial here, or, if they have accepted price declines, are clinging to the soft landing/plateau theory. I don’t think things will fall as far as in CA for the reasons the article mentions. Banks don’t lend with less than 20% down, interest rates are around 8%, you actually have to prove your income, and the loans are recourse. I expect to see something like what middle America is experiencing, with 10-20% drops in nominal prices.

The reserve bank governor is surprisingly honest and competent here. He has been among the earliest in calling the price declines.

NZ is already being killed by the unwinding of the carry trade. NZD just hit a 5 year low against the USD, not sure it has much further to fall. The agricultural sector is going gangbusters (NZ is the “Saudi Arabia of milk”) and essentially keeping the country afloat. I don’t think tourism will fall too much thanks to the weakened currency.
