In MENU This Week. Cape Winemakers Guild tastings, The 2022 Trophy Wine Show Public Tasting, Vinimark Trade Show

A blanket of flowers covers the veld at Postberg 

After a dearth of public wine tasting opportunities, suddenly we had three within days of each other. Wonderful opportunities to taste superb wines and to catch up with people, many of them friends, whom we have missed for two years. Spring is making its way into our lives. It’s still not warm enough to do without a fire, but the chill is receding and we can look forward to summer. We hope the weather is being good to you and that you may have a chance to see the spectacular spring flower display. We’ll show you some next week

We were keen to sample the Trophy wines which were available to taste and to chat to the farms about the wines. The tasting was open to the public. Read on…

Vinimark Trade tasting

Another large trade wine show this week. Vinimark, who held their Wine Trade Fair at the CTICC, represents some prestigious Cape Wine farms as well as some successful commercial brands that appear on many wine lists. One cannot possibly attempt to taste more than a fraction of the wines available so one listens to others about what they have been tasting and what is worth trying, as well as finding wines that have won recent awards.
