There are beaucoups of info on TC on obtaining/ordering bottles of the Pisco maui bottle, via "Search".
e.g.:
http://tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic-new.php?topic=674&forum=5
But now I MUST have a bottle of the Maori Ti-Toki! That is GORgeous. I've emailed the company to ask about shipping to the US. It'll probably be prohibitive.
Er, anyone going to NZ anytime soon??

my niece is in n.z. right at this very moment. i asked her to pick me up a bottle -- she said she saw one but didn't want to cart it all over the country in her luggage for a month, so i'm hoping she finds one just before she leaves & doesn't forget. i doubt very much she'd be interested in carting two bottles back (she's studying in australia until july). sorry.

I just did a web search, and I can't find anyone who sells it anywhere but Australia and New Zealand.
The duty free shop in NZ seels it for NZ $52.50, which comes to US $35.93 for the Tiki bottle, and NZ $22.95 for a plain old non-Tiki bottle (that's US $15.71). ...but you have to pick it up in person at the NZ airport! D'oh!
Bottle is more than double the cost of the booze. Guess they know what people REALLY want.
Here's the link:

I also emailed the guy at the Ti-Toki.com web site to see if he can ship some to USA. Might have to grab a few bottles in time for Oasis...

What a Crock...to have, I'd love one.
Anyway abck to NZ Wine.
There is a Winery.Tohu Wines - New Zealand's first Maori wine exporter. This is owned and run by Maori's and the grapes are grown on land in Gisborne, Marlborough and Nelson, some of New Zealand’s top wine growing regions.
Read the story http://www.nzte.govt.nz/article/0,1973,SectionID%253D11894%2526ContentID%253D5513,00.html and decide for yourself about drinking the wine.
