Stellenbosch Wines and Pizza
On
Sunday, after a night in an AirBnB in Somerset West, we met friends at this new
festival held at Stellenbosch Vineyards (you might know it as Welmoed winery)
on Baden Powell Drive. We found some shade and shelter from the wind, some
chairs and a small table, and enjoyed a lovely day drinking their wines and eating
some pizza and other snacks
Lots of stands selling Pizza but there
were some alternatives. This bus had craft beers
There were quite long queues for the Pizza. Ours
took 1hr 15 minutes, which is a long time to wait in the sun
They varied in quality and this was probably the
longest queue, for the most popular pizza and it looked very large. They were very
organised and the queue did move reasonably fast
Guests were given coupons to taste the Stellenbosch
Vineyards wines and a wine glass to take home
Swings for the children
Bands played all day, some were infinitely more
talented than others
The kitchen angels on Love Pizza had their line
going so efficiently
Fancy a Flammkuchen instead? The German version of
Pizza
Many had brought ready made pizza bases, this was
a very authentic stand and this gentleman made hundreds of bases that day
Waiting for that tasting to be poured
There was water for sale and some non alcoholic
drinks as well
The iceman cometh
The good end of another long queue
Load the bases and then put them in the wood oven
A zen moment, beer or wine?
DJ John Meinking and his lady
Our lot did 18 fresh West Coast oysters, which
they said were superb
And three different pizzas: olives, peppers and
cheese
Ham, blue cheese and figs
Bacon and Avo
And we drank a bottle or two of 2014 Credo, their
top end wooded Chenin Blanc and made a few converts. It's a lovely wine, not
too over wooded, full of different layers of fruit, rich and great with food
