| Goodbye, Johnny | Thursday, 11 June 2009 |
|
| A year ago I was tasting some awesome Rieslings by accident with Johnny Hugel in his shop-cum-tasting room in Riquwihr, Alsace. His death on Tuesday finishes the glass of one of the heroes of Riesling, that noble grape beloved of wine hacks but impossible to sell. I'd had the good fortune to taste Paul Cluver's matchless 2004 vintage Riesling the previous evening along with wine maker Andries Burger at Paul's stone-walled villa on ... |

| Tinus takes a leek | Saturday, 6 June 2009 |

The hot topic of conversation on the lawns of the Residence de France in Arcadia this afternoon was whether the plump, cold oysters served in their shells were resting on shallots (suggested by Pieter "bubbles" Ferreira) or a mixture of white and spring onions (proposed by Forti Mazzone of Ritrovo fame).
Since the occasions was Tinus van Niekerk being awarded the Legion d‘Honneur du Merite Agricole, I suggested the green stuff coul ... |
