Vinimark and Wine Worx held their annual trade wine show on Monday evening at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. They have a superb list of French champagnes and distribute some of the best South African wines
A good place to start was with Ginette de Fleuriot CWM on the Champagne table
with Gosset, Ayama
and Bollinger, poured here by Carla Strydom
Jacques Bruwer showed his excellent MCCs. This Jeroboam is available to order for your special celebration
Carolyn and JC Martin were there to show their lovely wines from the Hemel en Aarde valley
and Wendy Appelbaum was there with Carl van der Merwe, her cellarmaster, to show off their superb De Morgenzon wines. Here, she pours the De Morgenzon Maestro red blend for Grootbos sommelier Eben Bezuidenhoud
A special treat was being able to taste from a magnum of 2005 De Morgenzon Chenin blanc,
made by Chenin guru Teddy Hall. Who says SA whites don't age well? This was our wine of the evening, from a selection of superb wines
French sommelier Denis Garret, seen here with cellarmaster Arco Laarman, was especially enthusiastic about Glen Carlou's Gravel Quarry 2009 Cabernet sauvignon
A warm welcome from Irene Waller, GM and cellarmaster at La Bri in Franschhoek
