Not looking for a man in finance
Lovely evening at @Nedbank for the 2024 @CapeWinemakersG showcase, lovely to taste wines made exclusively for the auction, alongside the members, protégés and Joburg oenophiles
It’s going to be a record-breaking auction

Do You Know Your Dad’s Favourite Wine?
When I first met @ErikaobermeyerW, I could have thrown confetti in the air. My dad is a huge fan of the @GrahamBeckSA Chalk Board 2007. That Cabernet Sauvignon was discontinued when Graham Beck stopped making still wines to focus on fizz
Why @SauvignonSA still tops SA’s white wine charts - and how different styles emerge from across the country. Expert opinion from Thys Louw at @diemersdalwines, @ErikaObermeyer, Pierre Rabie at @giantperiwinkle, and Constantia Royale’s Roger Burton. https://t.co/LEJOHDEmcd #DRLW
Weekend indulgence: family celebrations, headlined by a ‘74 Paarl Claret in excellent condition. Argyros assyrtiko cuvée from Santorini (thanks @GreatDomaines) outstanding; @Forrester_Wines The Bridge collaboration from Napa and @ErikaobermeyerW syrah amongst a fine selection.
While some winemakers dedicate their lives to expressing the nuances of a single place, others are explorers intent on the revelry of diversity. @ErikaobermeyerW belongs to the latter, her wines an ode to the wonders of the Cape’s winelands. Shop Now: https://t.co/vGTU1jE9PF

Two very confident debut wines tor the 2023 #CWGAuction to be held at the Lord Charles in Somerset West in October. The first was @AlexStarey of @keermont with Where Two Mountains Meet 2021, a shiraz, cab franc & Cab sauv blend. The other was @ErikaobermeyerW
First wine #CWGAuction for @ErikaobermeyerW is a shiraz/grenache/cinsaut + 3% Cab s. Called Silver Lining 2021 it's a nod to her double cornea transplant, own wine digs & induction @CapeWinemakersG guild - all in 21. 'If it's scary but exciting, you have to do it,' she said.
