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?)
anyway, I reckon she gets NZ for you and for me I get UK

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.
