Such sad news to say good bye to a soft spoken genius of the liquor industry who was always open to debate issues but with a strong sense reason to protect the industry that he devoted his life to - RIP Dave Hughes, your influence will live on

At the request of either @AngelaLloyd1 or @MaluLambert - always get them mixed up - the New Year’s Eve wine selection. Headlined by the 2009 @hautespoir shiraz, and memories of the great @rambowine. #DRLW @MichaelJordaan @mikeratcliffe @ErikaObermeyer @bearwines @KFwines

More and more impressed with the Cape of Good Hope Wines. Serruria 2019 has depth and freshness - at R205 a bottle, this outperforms a lot of other big-name, big-price Chardonnays.

Optima: from the Latin word meaning ‘consistently exceptional quality at an extremely good price, making a second bottle with lunch a formality’. Or something to that effect. #DRLW @AnthonijRupert

Fabulous bit of news today hearing the success of @CorebyClare and of course our very own South African @garethferr as they receive their ⭐️⭐️⭐️ @MichelinGuideUK stars. Such an incredible achievement. (Oh, and Gareth’s assistant is the reigning @WOSA_UK World Sommelier winner!)💫 – at Richmond, London

There are more reasonable alternatives than a 4th total alcohol ban!This is a devastating blow for our wine industry that is already in a dire situation after a 18 week domestic ban. With significant stock levels, probability high that full harvest cannot be crushed.@Vinpro_za

We invited some wine professionals and had a landmark Skurfberg tasting. It was all about points and winners and losers and scientific accuracy. You won’t believe the results. allthewine.co.za/single-post…

Rooted with Anthonij Rupert Wyne. The “Die Ou Bosstok” Chenin blanc vineyard has a unique history and an extraordinary story of “2 lives”. Winemaker, Mark van Buuren, shares the story. Cheers on #DrinkChenin Day! bit.ly/3fMw7P7 #oldvines @CheninBlancSA @AnthonijRupert

Lunch at @AnthonijRupert with @bearwines. Some outstanding food, paired with a great bottle of semillon. Perfect warm-down after a morning at Franschhoek Motor Museum.

Can’t think of a better way to start @HospiceduRhone than by moderating a panel on SA Cinsault with @MullineuxWines @RyanTheWineGeek @theblacksmithza @KaapzichtWines #WEtaste
