Rubber Snarks | Thursday, 4 June 2009
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."

  1. All tasting is blind so producers on the Wrong Side of the Mountain have as much chance as Helderberg Heroes and Simonsberg Sex Kittens;
  2. The guide, to be released at the end of September, will retail under R100;
  3. Each copy of the guide will contribute to the purchase and training ...
