The latest salvo in the burnt rubber fiasco was fired on Sunday by Tim Atkin MW whose tasting note on a SA red at a blind tasting said it all: " ‘a Max Mosley of a wine‘ - fine for sadomasochists, but not much fun as a drink." Confirming a long-held confusion of mine that the letters MW appended to a persons name referred to that well known English dominatrix Miss Whiplash, flagellation being a favourite pastime in Blighty.

Not another wine guide you groan! But this one has several points of departure from the competition. In fact, I can think of at least ten:- All tasting is blind so producers on the Wrong Side of the Mountain have as much chance as Helderberg Heroes and Simonsberg Sex Kittens;
