The Barn has to be one of Riebeek Kasteelstraat one of my favourite discoveries in our recent outing. places. Each dish filled with flavour and reasonably priced. The kids thoroughly enjoyed their meals and the presentation. Next time youโ€™re in the area or passing through make an effort to pop in.

I had the pleasure of joining Premier South African winery, Haskell Vineyards at one of their 20th anniversary special winemaker dinners and what a momentous occasion it was.

The intimate yet relaxed dinners take place at the wineryโ€™s popular Longtable Restaurant with the theme being to cast light on different terroirs, regions and wines. I thoroughly enjoyed  the engagement between the winemakers, chef and guest at the dinner as we deconstructed some of the myths when it comes to food and wine pairing.

The next dinner takes place on Thursday 25 August. Haskell Vineyards' winemaker, Rudolph Steenkamp, will be joined by Janno Briers-Louw from Eenzaamheid, for a gastronomic feast of food and wine.

Date: Thursday 25 August
Venue: Longtable Restaurant at Haskell Vineyards
Time: 18h00 for 18h30
Cost: R475pp including three-course meal and all wines

I had the privilege to get a sneak peek of the 2021 Alviโ€™s Drift 221 100% Sauvignon Blanc and let me tell you, this wine is decadent.
The nose is inviting with notes of melon, peaches, apricot and lime. In the glass the appearance is pale straw and on the sip the wine delivers on the palate what was offered on the nose, the wine is dry and crisp with a velvety finish. Each mouthful more alluring than the preceding. If youโ€™re in need of a fresh , well-rounded Sauvignon Blanc look no further than the ๐€๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ข'๐ฌ ๐ƒ๐ซ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ ๐’๐š๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐ง๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐œ.

 
The 221 Sauvignon Blanc will officially launch within the next few weeks with the 2022 vintage.
In the interim we can procure and indulge in the limited edition 2021 vintage https://alvisdrift.co.za/products/221-sauvignon-blanc
