Alto Port: A good thing for those who waited | Tuesday, 28 April 2009
The idea that "all good things come to those who wait" was made popular by American poet Longfellow although the French had long before been using the expression: Tout vient a point a qui sait attendre. Whatever its origins it is a fitting statement to announce the release of Alto‘s 2006 vintage Port, the second from the award-winning Stellenbosch estate in nearly a decade but the first ever to be produced by winemaker Schalk van der Westh ...

Vino in Valencia | Saturday, 25 April 2009
With reducing your carbon footprint the latest reason floated for going on a diet (fatties eat more calories ergo they chalk up more food miles and when they travel, their carbon-based carriages emit more CO2 than slim Jims) then the planet could surely be saved if wine judges stayed at home. For April is not only TS Eliots cruelest month, it is also international wine tasting month with foreign judges swooping down on London for the Internationa ...

Alexander the Grape | Wednesday, 22 April 2009
Alexander the Great extended his Macedonian Empire east to India in the fourth century BCE before succumbing to malaria or booze, depending on your sources. His namesake, Alexander Milner from Natte Vallei on the Simonsberg, has just returned from two months making wine in Maharashtra State, India, home of Mumbai, Bollywood and 97% of the Indian wine industry.

Never judge a book by its cover or a winemaker by the size of his Blundstones ...

Pendock not opposed to sighted tastings | Friday, 17 April 2009
The www.winenews.co.za headline on yesterdays Platter gabfest in Somerset West is a masterpiece: "Platter Wine Guide not opposed to blind tasting." At first I thought publisher Andrew "Big Mac" McDowell had hired some extra-familiar PR spin doctor until I realized the story came from the Kumkani blog which kindles a new-found admiration for the marketing abilities of Cowpee. Even if the Platter coverage came second to Minki Visser and the SA Chee ...

Old World producers include countries ...

New World Olive Oil Captures 
Old World Competition | Wednesday, 15 April 2009
Olive oil was produced in Portugal as far back as the Bronze age and the Portuguese are notoriously proud of their heritage as one of the world‘s great producers. Correspondingly, it was quite a surprise when a tiny South African upstart claimed first place at the International Wine and Olive Oil Design Awards held in Porto, Portugal. Noble Hill Wine Estates Virgin Territory brand olive oil was named the winner at a gala dinner held at the ...
