How to make the perfect Chenin? All I can say is “I wish I knew”.
Chenin is the most delicious wine and it is totally at home barefoot or in high heels and a dinner suit. It’s the ability to wear so many mantles is quite fascinating and something of ongoing exploration for me.
Don’t we all need some heartwarming goodness right about now?
The Lockdown Recipe Storytelling Book contains both fond memories & comfort food - a magical combo. I have two beautiful copies to give away!

YES, WE ARE crazy about Chenin Blanc South Africa's sweetheart variety with almost all sushi 🥢 especially the crisp, happy-go-lucky unwooded, frisky styles, light on the palate with pure fruit definition. Cheers Chenin lovers may the joy flow freely today and all weekend long.💛

Businesses that can open safely, should be allowed to do so. We need to fight the second, equally serious unemployment pandemic! #LightSAred@Wesgro@WesternCapeGov@CityofCT
I’m excited to team up with @rogerfederer again for the Match in Africa Friday in Cape Town. Playing alongside Roger is always a thrill, and I can’t wait to face off against @RafaelNadal and @Trevornoah.
A Monday with the brilliant @BassonBertus and great UK chefs @cornishkitchen#MickSmith - feeling inspired about the conversations as fabulous food was paired with great wines @IanNaude. It remains a remarkable privilege to introduce our young generation to these A-game players!
