Such sad news to say good bye to a soft spoken genius of the liquor industry who was always open to debate issues but with a strong sense reason to protect the industry that he devoted his life to - RIP Dave Hughes, your influence will live on
Visiting Anthonij Rupert Wyne at L'Ormarins, Franschhoek - an important South African producer https://t.co/RoHKgYtQdL @AnthonijRupert@WOSA_UK@treve_ring
The sudden death of Shane Warne has shocked us all.
He was a great cricketer, a stalwart of the @dunhilllinks and a great entertainer who was always a joy to be with.
Everyone at Alfred Dunhill shares this loss deeply.
Our sympathy is with Shane’s family.
More and more impressed with the Cape of Good Hope Wines. Serruria 2019 has depth and freshness - at R205 a bottle, this outperforms a lot of other big-name, big-price Chardonnays.
Optima: from the Latin word meaning ‘consistently exceptional quality at an extremely good price, making a second bottle with lunch a formality’. Or something to that effect. #DRLW@AnthonijRupert
Fabulous bit of news today hearing the success of @CorebyClare and of course our very own South African @garethferr as they receive their ⭐️⭐️⭐️ @MichelinGuideUK stars. Such an incredible achievement. (Oh, and Gareth’s assistant is the reigning @WOSA_UK World Sommelier winner!)💫
There are more reasonable alternatives than a 4th total alcohol ban!This is a devastating blow for our wine industry that is already in a dire situation after a 18 week domestic ban. With significant stock levels, probability high that full harvest cannot be crushed.@Vinpro_za
We invited some wine professionals and had a landmark Skurfberg tasting. It was all about points and winners and losers and scientific accuracy.
You won’t believe the results.

Rooted with Anthonij Rupert Wyne. The “Die Ou Bosstok” Chenin blanc vineyard has a unique history and an extraordinary story of “2 lives”. Winemaker, Mark van Buuren, shares the story. Cheers on #DrinkChenin Day!

Lunch at @AnthonijRupert with @bearwines. Some outstanding food, paired with a great bottle of semillon. Perfect warm-down after a morning at Franschhoek Motor Museum.
