Re: blenheim/marlborough
Just left Blenheim for Christchurch
Yes they make the BEST wine, also have the most sunshine hours in New Zealand.
Lots of migrants because of the vineyards, so lots of cultures are represented there.
Weather good all year round pretty much, so lots of outdoorsy things going on
One of the few places where house prices are still going UP too
here's some handy websites for you.
Try contacting Frenchy too, she's in Bleneheim ( although think she's actually in the UK at the mo)

The downsides???
Sometimes it can feel claustraphobic, and is still very much a 'growing town' but Nelson is just over an hour away and the drive to Christchurch is quite 'doable'
Get them to send you for a weekend and make your mind up
And if anyone wants to give us a job, we'd be back there like a shot.
