In 1976, Kevin Arnold arrived at Delheim and made a wine. He'd leave for greater things — Rust en Vrede, then Waterford. The wine stayed put. 40 years on, the @Delheim Grand Dame is still being celebrated. The best wines hold a mirror. Sometimes they age. Sometimes they show us how much we have. news.wine.co.za/News.aspx?NE… Article by @HuguenetLafras #Delheim #StellenboschWine

In this episode of The Vinimark Podcast, we sit down with four leading voices from the South African Sommelier Association following their recent Western Cape tour. From Johannesburg to Bloemfontein and beyond, they share what it means to deliver truly memorable service, where knowledge meets warmth, and culture shapes every interaction. Their conversation uncovers the evolving world of South African hospitality: one defined not by pretence, but by people, place, and passion. Together, these sommeliers remind us that excellent service isn’t just about what’s in the glass; it’s about the meaning poured into it. Listen Here: vinimark.co.za/podcasts/sa-s…
