Plenty of bottle needed to keep dream alive (NZ)
This is a tale of two blokes, both Australians, who crossed the Tasman to establish for themselves, and for New Zealand wines, reputations that are respected throughout the world. We are talking, of course, about John Hancock and Larry McKenna, mates from high school in Adelaide, where Larry’s father shared with them his passion for the fruits of the vine, which encouraged them both to pursue careers in wine. The rest is history. Now both are facing the winds of change rustling through the industry, writes Warren Barton in the Southland Times.
