3 The Cellar has the best New Zealand can offer. About Anton My background in wine comes from working in Russia, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand. In 2012, I travelled to Australia, gaining my Bachelor of Education in Hospitality. It was there that I began writing about Australian wines for Russian magazines. Eventually, New Zealand s wonderful terroir called to me from across the Tasman. I am constantly amazed by the quality of New Zealand wines, and their deserved recognition around the world.
