Escape the Cape and Visit Paarl. Thereโ€™s nothing better than enjoying a chilled glass of Viognier in a airconditioned tasting room facing the beautiful landscape. 
Today I revisited @RidgebackWines after a year and was in awe by the newly opened tasting room,  open and bright space without loosing the classic Ridgeback charm. One can easily get caught up by the landscape and serenity. 

I astonished that the wine tasting offer was so affordable and sampled so many wines of which I have * Three must-try wines including my #breakfastwine The Lady Luck Rosรฉ selling for R85.00 , The Journey Bordeaux Blend R150.00 & Cabernet Franc R200.00

They have Three Tastings options starting at R40 to R100

SAโ€™s most loved & quirkiest fine wines celebrates its 60th anniversary this year with the latest release , @delheimwines in @stellwineroute .  What some 1st derided as a failure, the late Spatz resurrected to become a beloved choice of SA's new wine lovers.

Fun fact: Did you know the British wine publication Decanter in 1978 for his packaging voted Worst Label of the Year, spurred him on. As the magazine put it: โ€œWhat gives this label its Olympic class is the translation of the wine name which, to put it delicately, is โ€˜sparrowโ€™s droppingโ€™.โ€

Itโ€™s a an absolute privilege to join you in celebrating this momentous occasion. 

The Spatzendreck 2019 sells for R245 per 500ml bottle and is only available from the farm or through Delheimโ€™s online shop at https://www.delheim.com/shop-online/.

If youโ€™re trying to understand wine and whisky in terms of tasting the nuanced flavors or enjoying the aromas then you may want to invest in the appropriate tools of the craft a.k.a your glassware game has to be on point. 
Equally having spices but not prepare them in the right way using effective tools, you are missing out on the experience of what the taste of the final product would have been. 

In this episode, we review our favorite wine glasses, whisky glasses, and spice tools ๐Ÿ˜
