A quick zip around the North Island of New Zealand’s wine regions, a bit of history, and - well - some silliness, because the host, once again, cannot freaking help herself.

Warning: the host was not/NOT involved in the throwing of either fowl or fake phallus, but has marked this episode as explicit due to some adult - stupid & humorous, but adult nonetheless - content.
