Bob Campbell was wearing his New Zealand's Mr Wine hat (and that panama which is welded to his balding pate) when he announced the other day that he has lost his virginity.
What he meant was, that after having tasted an estimated 100,000 wines from around the world he has just awarded 100 points, the maximum, for the first time. And the honour fell to a New Zealand wine -- Neudorf 2014 Moutere Chardonnay (pictured left). 
He believes it is the best that Neudorf have ever made. It costs $64 a bottle.
