Sunday is Cap Classique day: corks will pop! Fastest growing category in SA, production runs to almost 11 million bottles annually, "only" 3 million of which are exported. So, local's definitely lekker. If the Boks succeed, it'll be another reason to celebrate. @CapClassique_SA
@drizzleanddip@Lyndylu_za Same here, I have registered for the half marathon, gun run, knowing that I will probably walk half of the time. Nice to have a goal.
Beyond thrilled/excited/profoundly grateful to announce we've been awarded a grant from @GerardBassetFDN to fund scholarships for our flagship @WSETglobal Diploma as well as Level 3 course in South Africa. Gonna build those skills, create those leaders, transform our industry!
Fantastic blind tasting of top class SA sauv alongside some international benchmarks. You got our brains ticking over. Thank you @wellredmagazine for putting it together 🙌
Congratulations on yet another wine writing award @joanne_gibson; this time for @Jancis_Robinson’s competition featuring articles on favourite wine people, in Joanne’s case her Uncle Dieter.
First business trip to Johannesburg in nearly a year. The kindness and friendliness between everyone, especially strangers from all backgrounds is unbelievable! It is very heart warming
@drizzleanddip south Yeaster Bakery in Hout Bay. As a French person I have very high standards. All their products are so good people queue outside and if you come too late everything is sold out.
Happy International Chardonnay Day! Ok, I’m a week late but worth waiting for this delish @PaulCluverWines Estate Chard. Crisp, clean citrus with a warm vanilla core laced with tangy acidity. Top class NW chard - love it!
Calling all wine enthusiasts! Embark on an immersive wine journey with our esteemed cellar master and winemaker, Andries Burger.
Join us for a virtual tasting of our 2022 Village Pinot Noir.
To place my flood of @DecanterAwards tweets in context: 18250 wines from 57 countries. Just FIFTY were awarded Best In Show, and there were only 125 Platinum medals. So South Africa's 2 Bests and 3 Platinums are big wins! @WOSA_ZA@StellWineRoute@ChristineLundy#DWWA2023
