Important Notice: Due to the devastating damage and suffering caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent tidal wave, we have decided to postpone our Mika Meets New Zealand Fine Wine tasting party scheduled for April 21st at Super Deluxe. Our hearts go out to all of the victims of the disaster, and to those who have suffered both directly and indirectly as a result. We are confident that Japan will bounce back from these events, and our events, along with those of the New Zealand Winegrowers Association, will be recheduled when the time is appropriate. Southern Wind -> The Southern Wind Trading Company is dedicated to facilitating the trade of wine and gourmet foods from New Zealand to the world and back. Our key markets are New Zealand, Australia, Japan and Europe. The company is based in Auckland, New Zealand with operations in Tokyo.
