Did it actually say New Zealand, or NZ?
I think there's some code on the site that gets the browsers location, intended for Canadian province (or does she also operate in the USA?)

Like The Tasting Panel, with Anthony Dias Blue fronting it. It's primarily industry-focused, but if you have a chance, take a look at it. It's pretty obvious. There are others.
