  3. Yes, the improvement have been dramatic and Lourensford, River Garden are on a roll, to make great wine besides great site, passion is key
  4. Winery to watch, Lourensford in Stellenbosch, since Chris Joubert have taken over from Philip Costandius, the wines have improved so much
  5. The new Southern Sun Hyde Park was officially opened tonight, the sabrage went well, phew....the best address in jozi for Italian wines

  8. I beg the world to boycott and not support any wine label as Cape or Paarl Riesling, they are fooling the customer hard earn cash,
  9. Paul Cluver Estate Close Encounter Riesling 2009 - 92 Points - The highest South African rated Riesling to date, world class stuff

  13. The wine cinsumer worldwide should boycott Cape or Paarl Riesling as it is misleading and not proper Riesling as they are buying Crouchen Bl
  14. I believe I have upset this organisation because not only their portfolio is unspiring, but the whole debate between proper riesling
  15. The MD of a rather powerful wine supplier who represent Crouchen Blanc as riesling has term my new job as a complete failure ?
  16. Had a Steenberg Vineyards Nebbiolo 2007 tonight, was welcoming to see the excellent extraction and clarity as well as lower alcohol,
  17. On the question of Sommelier in South Africa, there are now propagators of saying there is a Gauteng Syle and Cape Style, complete nonsense
  18. Crouchen Blanc should be the most boring dry white with no personality, character, depth, charm whatsoever and the consumer has been conned
  19. Just a reminder to wine drinkers, South African Riesling or Cape Riesling or Paarl Riesling is not Riesling but the boring Crouchen Blanc
  20. Primitivo in South Africa, when well handled and not shadow by new oak, can be a rather interesting wine, full bodied and juicy with depth
