Wine Week in Durban

The great thing about the annual Mercury Wine Week in Durban is that it is always on Dav'e birthday, so who needs a reason to celebrate? With friends who enjoy a good glass of Wine there was aplenty with over 180 Cape Wine Farms represented. Needless to say I have a memory lapse after far to many tastes of the beautiful nectar.

Another Birthday %$#@& for Dave

Llewellyn and Dave enjoy a glass of wine with Chris and Gavin of Tyson's Properties - we were all on the recent gay cruise to the Baltic as well.

Dave and Llewellyn eye out the hot winemasters from the Cape. And for wines we enjoyed the Slanghoek wines.. must make a note to visit the farm next time we are in the Cape.

Wine Tasting and Durban fun

It was a JC le Roux sparkling wine and nougat tasting at the Guesthouse this weekend.. awesome fun, nice crowd and great wine.

We welcomed Chris from Joburg,  Quinton from Cape Town, Yvan from Joburg, Gerhard and Andre from Pretoria and Terance from Richard's Bay as guests for the weekend and the locals showed them how to party.

JC le Roux Sparkling Wine Tasting

When I'm in Stellenbosch where my son Mark is studying, I love to go to the JC le Roux wine farm for a sparkling wine tasting.

They have also paired their wines with a selection of nougat which is outstanding, so we have decided to have a little sparkling wine tasting of our own at the Guesthouse.

In the poster Llewellyn shows off some of the now wide range forming part of the sparkling wines produced by the wine estate.

At JC le Roux, passion and prowess are evident in every facet of the winemaking process. The grapes are whole bunch pressed and only the curvee, the finest quality, free-running juice, is used for JC le Roux Cap Classiques.

We have created a Facebook event for the Wine Tasting evening and you can indicate your attendance by clicking on the link here. The tasting charge is R50 per person and there are limited spaces.
