Battle of the Academicians
Do you need a license to make love? A diploma to become a dad? A certificate to call yourself a chef? Authority to become an artist? So why is the world of wine so obsessed with “qualifications?” Heck many of the Cape’s best winemakers like Arco Laarman (Glen Carlou) and Johan Kruger (Sterhuis) are self-taught [...] Related posts:Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

Wine of the day: Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc 2011 has aromas of ruby grapefruit with underlying herbaceous tones on the nose opening up into notes of green pepper and asparagus. The crisp acidity and minerality carry the wine beautifully. Drink on its own as an aperitif, or pair it with sushi, light, tomato-based dishes and salads. This is a sauvignon with enough class to age and improve over a year or two.
(Cellar door price R95 per bottle)

The Truth Lies in Vermouth
“Your drinking what?” I looked up and showed her the flat-green bottle. “Vermouth. Noilly Prat,” I answered. “Why, do you prefer Cinzano?” She stared at me as if black widow spiders were crawling from my nose and I was carrying a copy of Huisgenoot magazine. “Siss. Only schoolgirls drink that common stuff.” After politely telling [...]

Friday Wine Sips: Super Bowl Bad Boys
Sunday is the Big Day, and millions of Americans will gather in their caves around open fires, er, I mean, in their dens, media rooms and home theaters around the hypnotic glow of large-screen televisions to watch Super Bowl XLVI and devour billions of chicken wings, pigs-in-blankets and cheesy barbecue nachos.

Degustazioni: Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore 2010 - Cote di Franze
Reduce dal recente assaggio del Cirò Riserva 2008 di 'A Vita, mi accingo ancora una volta a raccontare di un vino che, poco alla volta, sembra rinascere di nuova linfa, grazie soprattutto alle attuali generazioni di vignaioli consapevoli e fortemente innamorati della loro terra. Questa 2010 è la prima annata in produzione dell'azienda di Francesco e Vincenzo Scilanga, che prende...

Esalazioni etiliche: Sto facendo la fila
Sto facendo la fila, una lunga fila, ad uno sportello statale, in una sala neanche tanto accogliente, tra un continuo viavai di gente ed un caldo afoso, pesante da respirare, tanto da desiderare di uscire al freddo pungente che, stamattina, immobilizza la natura...

E anche a Chicago…
Alcuni amici ieri hanno preso parte al wine tasting di Slow Wine a Chicago, dove veniva promossa l’edizione in Inglese della Guida… Dopo la presentazione, credo si siamo dedicati anche ad un piacevole tour nelle principali enoteche della città, attenti a scovare -senza fatica, spero- il vino italiano sugli scaffali e mi hanno mandato questa [...]

Susumaniello, what a sususurprise! (and Georgia P’s photo shoot)
Honestly, I really didn’t know what to expect from a 2010 IGT Tarantino Susumaniello (100%) by the Poderi Angelini winery in Manduria (west coast of Puglia). The craze for indigenous varieties has inspired a number of producers to deliver monovarietal bottlings of grapes that were used strictly for blending in the past. In the entry [...]

The Restaurant at Waterkloof.
The view from inside the main building at Waterkloof never fails to impress. 10 meter high glass walls frame glorious vistas out over False Bay and the countryside surrounding the beautifully designed building. You have to stand there for a few few minutes to adjust, and take it all in. A glass of their delicious wine helps, and [...]
