In MENU This Week. Old Mutual Trophy, Chenin Day, Allesverloren dinner, Nuy Merlot and a Rant

The heron is back, trying to catch our koi

We cannot be sure of when we will next publish MENU. For at least the next week, probably much longer, we are all in a severe state of lock down. Most importantly, the government has dealt the wine and hospitality industries another crippling, if not fatal, blow. So we celebrate a few excellent wines here and end with a rant about the damage done and what we believe to be the causes and effects.

The results of the 2021 Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show were announced on a special edition of Dan Really Likes Wine at midday on 30th June. Broadcast from The Houghton in Johannesburg, the live online event included the on-screen participation of the leading category winners as well as several of the judges.

Despite a lower medal count overall, there was a broad spread of trophy winners covering almost all of the major categories. It is clear that the industry has more or less recovered from the devastation of the drought years, though – with entries down 10% on 2020 - not from the 19 weeks of trading bans imposed during the first two waves of the pandemic.

Chenin Blanc Day - Two wonderful vintage Chenins

We have had some excellent wines this last week. We had two super choices for International Chenin Blanc day on Friday and it was very hard to choose. We were having them with quite plebeian food, such is life at the moment as we are not prepared to go out much and they made it taste superb. South African Chenin Blancs are magnificent, and we love it that they have such different styles.

Wine and Dine Evening with Allesverloren at The Peninsula

There is quite a struggle at the moment for us to decide whether or not to go if someone invites us to a function or just to supper. We were invited last week to this lovely Allesverloren wine paired dinner at the Peninsula Hotel’s Sunset Restaurant (on the beachfront in Sea Point and mainly a timeshare property) that we have been meaning to visit for a while. We said “yes, on condition that we would not at any time be standing about 'socialising'” and our hosts, Leigh Taberer and Francois Joubert, said that was what they were going to do. So we met sitting down, masked and after a welcome introductory drink there, went straight to our table. It was a very good experience, but what has happened since means it will probably be the last function we attend for a while. We are now in Stage 4 lockdown again because of the fast spread of the Delta variant of Covid

Nuy Merlot

A delivery of two samples of Nuy Inspiration Merlot did take us a while to try, but we were very glad we did. It’s a new addition to the wines from the Nuy winery, in the valley between Worcester and Robertson, best known for many awards for their White and Red muscadels. We buy them and let them mature in our cellar; they really benefit from a few years maturation

A Rant

Despair. There are families all over this country for whom this is a reality. We’ve been down this road before, last year. But this idiotic, corrupt government does not learn. Last year, they banned sales of alcoholic drinks and, just as in Prohibition USA, the illicit traders filled their pockets, while the country’s revenues suffered as they lost income from excise duties, VAT and other tax sources. Now, they have put their spear through the heart of so many producers, retailers, restaurateurs, hoteliers and all the people whom they employ

A Rant

Taken a year ago when restaurants held a protest

Despair. There are families all over this country for whom this is a reality. We’ve been down this road before, last year. But this idiotic, corrupt government does not learn. Last year, they banned sales of alcoholic drinks and, just as in Prohibition USA, the illicit traders filled their pockets, while the country’s revenues suffered as they lost income from excise duties, VAT and other tax sources. Now, they have put their spear through the heart of so many producers, retailers, restaurateurs, hoteliers and all the people whom they employ.

Many of these people and businesses were at the brink, tottering on the edge of a cliff. They had mortgaged their houses, borrowed money to keep their doors open and their people employed. Now they are paying for the money stolen by Zuma, the Gupta brothers, Ace Magashule, Zweli Mkhize and a long list of others. We expect that many of them will not survive this final, cruel and wicked blow.

Why are we in this position? Not because of the victims of this draconic ban. It is because the ANC government is hopelessly incompetent and is stuck in the past with their stubborn adherence to failed philosophies that their mentors abandoned after the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. They have failed to plan; politicians have stolen money that should have been used to build facilities and buy vaccines – indeed, in the early days of this crisis, they failed to get the orders in to secure the vaccines. We could have had a large number of active members of our work force vaccinated by now if they had allowed the private sector, which is good at management, to participate and use their facilities and expertise to do the jab. But state control is their abiding principle. The President asked us in his latest TV appearance to be careful about spreading bad, negative news but, sometimes, these things need to be said.

So the biggest hospital in Gauteng is out of commission after a fire, probably caused by poor maintenance, damaged a part of it, after which dithering and incompetent politicians failed to get it fixed. And then facilities erected in the first stages of the crisis were dismantled and not put back when news of a new variant of the virus broke a couple of months ago. And because Gauteng, the most populous province, is in such a mess, the rest of the country is being devastated by the consequent shock wave.

People will become ill and some will die because we are in this “third wave” of the virus; more will die because of starvation, suicide and other tragic after effects of this gross incompetence and criminality. More people than ever are voicing their anger at the corruption which has enriched a few politicians – and some immigrants from India – at the expense of the majority of our citizens. There is an election coming… Let’s hope that old, misplaced loyalties will be put aside. The challenge is to decide who will be best to fill the void.

But we do have good news. The architect of much of the evil which has blighted our lives for the last ten or so years, Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma, the man who sold our country down the river to the Guptas, has been made to answer for a small amount of the damage he has done. A small smack on the wrist, perhaps, with a 15 month jail sentence for contempt of court. Al Capone was toppled for tax evasion, a minor crime compared to all his others. 

Zuma still has to answer for his contempt of our nation; there are numerous cases waiting for him in the courts. He has been dodging these serious accusations and court appearances for years. Maybe this is the key to the door which will see him and his cohorts being made to pay for all their other crimes. Whether we will ever recover from the damage he has done is another question which must still be answered. Maybe the political body in whose name the evil was done will suffer irreparable damage. It is dominated by two factions with a strong possibility that they will split. Sidelining Zuma's faction will be of enormous benefit to the country. We live in hope.

Nuy Merlot


A delivery of two samples of Nuy Inspiration Merlot did take us a while to try, but we were very glad we did. It’s a new addition to the wines from the Nuy winery, in the valley between Worcester and Robertson, best known for many awards for their White and Red muscadels. We buy them and let them mature in our cellar; they really benefit from a few years maturation.

Merlot has traditionally not done well in the valley but, with careful vineyard management, it looks as though they are succeeding

We had this with a Father’s Day braai and later with a comforting lamb casserole. The second bottle was taken to a neighbour who’d invited us for Sunday lunch a week later, where we enjoyed it with her beef olives. Covid news and lockdown have rather interfered with our wine drinking and writing.

The wine has incense wood, black cherries, cassis, red plums and violets on the nose. Tight tannins on the palate do open up as the wine breathes. Juicy cherry berry, plum and some cranberry fruit with some minerality and licorice wood on the end. The wine is juicy, approachable and warm with 14.5% alcohol. And it is very good with meat dishes.

A good deal at R432 for 6 (R72 a bottle) from the farm, when we can buy again. http://www.nuywinery.co.za/

Chenin Blanc Day - Two wonderful vintage Chenins

We have had some excellent wines this last week. We had two super barrel-fermented choices from our cellar for International Chenin Blanc day on Friday and it was very hard to choose. We were having them with quite plebeian food, such is life at the moment, as we are not prepared to go out much and they made it taste superb. South African Chenin Blancs are magnificent, and we love it that they have such different styles

Hope Marguerite 2014 from Beaumont. It is complex, rich and golden on the nose showing its maturity with cooked apple and peach aromas and a little spice. So satisfying on the lovely palate, it was as fresh as a daisy with layer upon layer of crisp fruit: limes, peach, granny smith apple, so clean with length and depth. We had it with spicy Mexican Nachos and it stood up well and enhanced the food

On Sunday, for Father’s Day, we had a small traditional braai as John’s daughter was able to come to us. We had steak, lamb and boerewors with salads. The 2014 De Morgenzon Reserve was golden with age and had a whiff of the oak, apples both cooked and fresh, with the perfume of ripe golden delicious. Silky on the palate then stars of brightness lit up the palate with zingy and full ripe quince, pineapple, gooseberry and yellow peach. There were layers of flavour and a mellow oak flavour on the end

Wine and Dine Evening with Allesverloren at The Peninsula

There is quite a struggle at the moment for us to decide whether or not to go if someone invites us to a function or just to supper. We were invited last week to this lovely Allesverloren wine paired dinner at the Peninsula Hotel’s Sunset Restaurant (on the beachfront in Sea Point and mainly a timeshare property) that we have been meaning to visit for a while. We said “yes, on condition that we would not at any time be standing about 'socialising'” and our hosts, Leigh Taberer and Francois Joubert, said that was what they were going to do. So we met sitting down, masked and. after a welcome introductory drink there, went straight to our table. It was a very good experience, but what has happened since means it will probably be the last function we attend for a while. We are now in Stage 4 lockdown again because of the fast spread of the Delta variant of Covid

The welcome drink was enjoyed sitting down in the very comfortable foyer area. On offer was a glass of the Allesverloren sweet Red Muscadel, which John tried, or a cocktail of gin, red muscadel and tonic, which we enjoyed very much; it was dry and rather quaffable, almost as good as the Port and tonic at The Yeatman Hotel in Porto. Allesverloren wine estate, owned by the Malan family, is in Riebeek Kasteel in the Swartland and produces wines from port varietals as well as good port and muscadel

There is parking for guests and it is close to the entrance




The sunset restaurant is open to the public and is alongside the pool. These Wine and Dine evenings were regularly held events and were usually booked out. Very good value for a three course meal paired with wine at R375 per person. Sadly, this was the last one for a while because of lockdown

The winemaker at Allesverloren is Wilhelm de Vries, who has been there since the 2016 vintage. He spoke interestingly about his training at Stellenbosch, the farm, the grapes and the wines we tasted. He told us that as Port is not so popular in South Africa anymore. They use the port varietal grapes to make dry red wines, which are very successful. We personally would love to see Port go through a revival, it is so good to drink

We apologise for the poor focus - we don't like using flash in restaurants and the shutter speed was slow


The menu

The starter was a very spicy lamb and barley soup, perfect and warming for the chilly wet evening, but it was a bit challenging for those who are not fans of hot (chilli) food. It was topped with a pretty lattice of cheese pastry decorated with edible flowers. Lynne never eats them; she says they are too pretty to eat!



The soup was perfectly paired with the 2018 Allesverloren Tinta Barocca. A classic Tinta, the nose does remind one of vintage port, earthy and rich, spicy notes and good wood. Black and red fruit that is enticing. Silky soft on the palate; then lots of dark berry fruit, which comes in layers with chalky tannins and ends with savoury notes. Big enough to stand up well to spicy food. Tinta Barocca is their biggest seller, especially in their export markets

To calm the palate, we were served with a small glass of kiwi and mint sorbet, which worked a treat

The main course was thick slices of Fynbos smoked fillet of beef - you could taste the rooibos - with a biltong crust. Delicious, light as air, round blue cheese & potato croquettes, and baby beetroots, served on a bed of roast vegetables , accompanied by a rich red wine sauce

The dish was paired with Allesverloren’s 2017 Shiraz. Earthy with mushrooms, violets, green leaves and dark mulberries on the nose. Clean, grippy red berry flavours with good acidity, dark wood on the end, definitely a wine to pair with food

Dessert was very exciting, especially if you have had something like this before. A sphere of milk chocolate - it had the texture of good Lindt - topped with a sheet of pistachio dusted brittle. We had to stop everyone from smashing their spheres and pour over the hot chocolate sauce which collapses it and reveals the contents of thick whipped cream, spiced cherries and blueberries. Even for those who do not normally enjoy dessert, this is divine. Very rich and hard to finish, but one did wish for a doggie bag for the remains ...

É voila, the delicious contents are revealed

Another great match, the Allesverloren 2014 Fine Old Vintage Port reminds one just how excellent a good aged port can be

We do look forward to attending the next Wine and Dine dinner, whenever that may be planned
Life is difficult to plan this year

In MENU This Week - Tea and scones at Chart Farm; Ondine Cabernet Franc

A  Cape cormorant (Phalacrocorax capensis) dries its wings between dinner-hunting forays

There are times when one becomes excited by very small things. This week, it is that we have had uninterrupted electricity supply. It almost makes one think (conspiracy theory?) that people in Eskom's management engineered the previous week's worse-than-usual breakdowns in order to light a fire under the government and force them to break down the barriers to independent production of wind and solar power. We live in hope...

Afternoon Tea at Chart Farm

Food memories are so important to us, they shape our family life. Can you remember when you first had an ice cream? Or candyfloss? A very enjoyable book about Cornwall triggered a memory of Lynne's beloved Aunt May's scones and the wonderful scones, raspberry jam and clotted cream we had when we were in Cornwall in 2019. And once you have the longing, it has to be satisfied. Where to go? Luckily someone on Facebook asking the same question had come up with some great suggestions and one stood out. We have been meaning to go back to Chart Farm in Constantia for a long time and we know they do good cakes and scones. So we made a booking, phoned our friends who live in Hout Bay and ventured forth on a lovely, sunny winter’s day this week. Read on...

Ormonde Ondine Cabernet Franc 2009

A wine from our cellar that we had with our supper last night turned out to be a jewel. This bottle of Ondine Cabernet Franc 2009 from Ormonde wine estate in Darling was one we bought a few years ago and cellared. Wow, Darling's best. South Africa produced a few magnificent Cabernet Franc-based wines in the 1990s, Christopher Keet’s iconic Cordoba Crescendo almost certainly leading the pack, but they were very rare. In recent years, we have seen many more very impressive wines from Cabernet Franc producers. Read on...

Afternoon Tea at Chart Farm

Food memories are so important to us, they shape our family life. Can you remember when you first had an ice cream? Or candyfloss? A very enjoyable book about Cornwall triggered a memory of Lynne's beloved Aunt May's scones and the wonderful scones, raspberry jam and clotted cream we had when we were in Cornwall in 2019. And once you have the longing, it has to be satisfied. Where to go? Luckily someone on Facebook asking the same question had come up with some great suggestions and one stood out. We have been meaning to go back to Chart Farm in Constantia for a long time and we know they do good cakes and scones. So we made a booking, phoned our friends who live in Hout Bay and ventured forth on a lovely, sunny winter’s day this week

The View restaurant at Chart Farm is run by a friend, Sandra Engelen
You can go and pick your own roses on the farm when they are in bloom
Sandra and her husband Philip were abroad for their son’s wedding, but we had superb service from their staff
They serve breakfasts and lunches as well as teas

The weather was so good that it had to be a table on the terrace with its wonderful views of the Constantia valley
And yes we did need an umbrella to shelter from the warm sun

Booking is always advised as this is a very popular venue

All the tables were booked and being occupied when we arrived at 2.30. They close at 4 in the winter

The grounds around the restaurant are beautifully planted
and Lynne would love to have this pale pink bougainvillea in our garden
Our large purple one is rampant

John and our friend Ronnie went to inspect the cake selection and were tempted by many
Lynne and Loraine had set their minds on the scones

The Red Velvet cake looked moist and was delicious said Ronnie, a good sized portion as well

The light-as-air scones arrived warm, accompanied by the raspberry jam and whipped cream
Sadly, we are not able to get clotted cream in the Cape
Lynne had them with her customary pot of green tea with a slice of lemon
Loraine had hers with a pot of Earl Grey tea, another good traditional choice

and John had a slice of rich baked cheesecake with his large, very good Americano coffee
He also swopped a small slice of cheesecake for one of Lynne's scones; two is a bit much for her

and the very reasonable bill for a great tea for four
 Now to return for breakfast or lunch one day

Ormonde Ondine Cabernet Franc 2009

A wine from our cellar that we had with our supper last night turned out to be a jewel

This bottle of Ondine Cabernet Franc 2009 from Ormonde wine estate in Darling was one we bought a few years ago and cellared. Wow, Darling's best. South Africa produced a few magnificent Cabernet Franc-based wines in the 1990s, Christopher Keet’s iconic Cordoba Crescendo almost certainly leading the pack, but they were very rare. In recent years, we have seen many more very impressive wines from Cabernet Franc producers

This wine has all the desired components, good vanilla wood notes on both the nose and palate adding strength and backbone, beautiful rich, dark berry fruit, with those classic Cab Franc violets and umami flavours of liquorice and a hint of salty minerality and pencil shavings. Silky soft on the palate, the fruit sings... And it still had a line of supporting fruit acids to keep it lasting even longer

We hope that we have more in the cellar. So good with meat and it stood up to some spice 

Currently selling for R140 on the farm, this is a 4 star Platter wine.  Theo Basson tends to keep his wines for a few years before releasing them and we tasted the 2015 with him last December. Thank you for this one, Theo

In MENU This Week – Avontuur Estate, Old Mutual trophy, Sea Point and electric celebration

Soon to be extinct? Pollution from a coal-fired power station in Mpumalanga

Four stories this week, but that’s not the big news. The Big News is the capitulation by some of the Marxist dinosaurs in our government, allowing a relaxation of state control of electricity generation and our almost defunct national airline enabling our electricity supply to become more reliable and much greener and, possibly renewed pride in our air travel badge. Our own big news is that we have both, at last, been vaccinated with the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine, which makes us feel much safer.

A Saturday at Avontuur Estate, Stellenbosch

On a lovely Saturday we were off to Avontuur Wine Farm in the Helderberg region of Stellenbosch. Known as "the home of fine wine and fast horses" it is owned by the Taberer family. We were joining Leigh Taberer. She is the sister of the late Tony Taberer who bought the estate in 1984. It is now run by his sons Michael and Philip Taberer. We were to have a wine tasting and lunch, and see the exciting newly finished Manor House accommodation. On arrival, you drive through the Paddocks and layers of white iceberg roses. Read on…

The Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show 2021

The judging of the Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show competition has always been at the Grande Roche hotel in Paarl. This year in a Covid related change, the judging was moved to central Cape Town and it took place at The Westin Cape Town from 31 May to 4 June. Read on…

A Sea Point Evening

The Sea Point beachfront is a wonderful amenity enjoyed, not only by those of us who live here, but by visitors from all over the Cape Peninsula and points further afield. It is a favourite place for us to take a walk and enjoy the fresh sea air. Read on…

Flying with Electric News

This has indeed been a momentous couple of days. After years of struggling to provide enough power to the country from its ancient, creaky and inefficient, poorly maintained coal driven power stations and one equally ancient nuclear facility, the worst power outages in years have forced the government’s arm. Our President, Cyril Ramaphosa, has announced major changes to the Governments renewable energy plans. They will make an amendment to schedule two of the Electricity Regulation Act, which would minimise the red tape for independent power producers. Read on…

A Saturday at Avontuur Estate, Stellenbosch

On a lovely Saturday we were off to Avontuur Wine Farm in the Helderberg region of Stellenbosch. Known as "the home of fine wine and fast horses" it is owned by the Taberer family. We were joining Leigh Taberer. She is the sister of the late Tony Taberer who bought the estate in 1984. It is now run by his sons Michael and Philip Taberer. We were to have a wine tasting and lunch, and see the exciting newly finished Manor House accommodation. On arrival, you drive through the Paddocks and layers of white iceberg roses. http://www.avontuurestate.co.za








They have a lovely view of the Table Mountain range
and you can clearly see Adamastor, the legendary Titan and Protector of the Cape,
lying on his back, taking his nap on a bed of mist

There is parking outside the main building and lots of seating on the terrace for wine tasting or eating at the restaurant

You can sit inside and they do have a fireplace but we enjoyed our lunch out on the terrace

Autumn leaves on the pin oaks

Avontuur is a renowned racing stud. We were so amused watching these pregnant mares in the closest paddock. There was one mare in control and they happily played follow my leader around the merry-go-round tree and the paddock. The new generation of foals will be born in August and are very sought after in the international racing world as the sires have very good racing records

African sacred ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus) were grazing in the paddocks

Leigh Taberer has curated a very good exhibition of art for sale in the old cellar. It is certainly well worth the time taken to see the paintings, sculptures and ceramics of the well known artists Andrew Cooper, Lesley Charnock, Vicki Norcliffe, Marion Cross and Sandile B Cele

Chatting with Leigh and her partner Francois Joubert in the gallery

and we had a good look at the pictures and sculptures

It is a very good area for displaying art in all its forms

A bronze by Vicki Norcliffe

and a very accomplished horse's head

Wine and art combined



Very talented ceramicist Sandile Cele

You could not help but stroke the noses of this pair of dogs
Leigh Taberer contributed to the book Exploring the Cape Winelands

and they had some visitors who wanted to buy

We took a stroll to see the Manor House which has been converted into luxurious suites
We thought it would be the perfect place for a wedding or for other family celebrations, or a quiet break from the city.
Bookings can be made from the estate or through Nightsbridge booking platform 

There is a pool and a tennis court

The pool room

The house was closed, but we were able to take photographs through the windows. This is the entrance hall

One of the impressive suites

and the Manor house has the same beautiful views of paddocks and the mountain

A sheltered area at the back of the house

A vine covered pergola

now in beautiful colour as the leaves die back

Time for lunch and we had a table in the shade with the beautiful views

It is a very popular restaurant and the same people have run it for many years
It is open for breakfast, lunch and early evenings
Bookings and details on https://www.dineplan.com/restaurants/avontuur-estate-restaurant

The menu has a good and interesting selection

Hot drinks. You can order any Avontuur wine to have with your meal, by the glass or the bottle

Our very friendly and helpful waitress Avril has been working there for many years

Our starters had been pre-ordered and were smoked salmon roses
stuffed with prawn, avocado, ginger, wasabi and topped with caviar
They do not contain sushi rice, so good for no carb diets. Delicious

We have good memories of the Avontuur Cabernet Franc
and they did have some in the cellar which we had with our main course
Full of savoury umami flavours with and rich red berry fruit
Age is showing but still delicious, it went so well with the awesome Duck
Avontuur used to have an excellent annual festival of Cape Cabernet Francs
We shall miss this and, especially, the woman who organised the festival, the late Cobie van Oort

A mixed salad for the table

Both Leigh and Francois encouraged us to order the duck. We needed no pressure, it is one of our favourite things to eat, especially when it prepared as well as this. They suggested that we share a portion as they are usually very large. This portion is just right. The sauce flavoured with van der Hum tangerine liqueur and caramelised orange was perfection with the duck. It is on a bed of mixed vegetables. The crisp skin, and the moist duck are definitely something to go to Avontuur for. And the price for the full half a duck of R200 is very reasonable


It came with a portion of chips


John had room for dessert and this was the Brandy Snap Basket with vanilla ice cream, caramelised orange and a vanilla fudge sauce. Leigh and Francois had the Deep fried ice cream

We did have a taste of two wines at the beginning of lunch: the newly released Luna de Miel 2021 Reserve Chardonnay, with herbal notes, crispness and minerality and the excellent Cabernet Sauvignon with classic Cabernet flavours of forest floor, black berry fruit with cassis to the fore, good wooding and soft tannins. All the wines are named after horses that the farm has owned. The winemaker (since 2011) is Jan van Rooyen. These are the two wines we drank with our meal.
