This
small trade tasting was held in the famous Ocean room at the Mount Nelson Hotel
on Monday night and we had such fun catching up with the wines, and friends
from wine farms we know and love. This
was accompanied by good canapés made by the Mount Nelson kitchen, they did very good smoked salmon on melba toast and
pulled pork rolls amongst others
