I was saddened to learn today that Paul Kemp from @LomaPrietaWine has passed. Paul was more than just a maverick of the wine world he was a caring and generous man. I drink tonight one of his wonderful award winning Pinotage wine in his honor and memory. Rest in Peace Paul.

This @SierraRidgeWine Pinotage from 2011 is another example from great American Pinotage from California.

@PinotageSA @Absa Ever think about inviting an American to be part of the Pinotage judging team? #AbsaPinotageTop10 #PinotageIsInternational

This @wineonaplatter 5-Star @RustenbergWines Peter Barlow from 1999 is very nice. Lots of fruit on the nose and pallete. Nice smooth finish.

The US is producing some great #Pinotage wines. This @HortonWine from 2008 is a stunning example from Virginia.
