And so it begins…
“Put everything you want to take on the bed. I will pack half of that and it will still be more than we use.”
Eye roll.

C’est La Vie
“O Kaap, O Kaap mooiste kaap
Jy maak my hart weer baie seer
Jou ghantam kom mos altyd weer en weer.”
Delaire Graf
We decided on a short trip for the day. Only two wineries. First stop, Delaire Graf. Sat up on the mountain top looking out over the valley on a beautiful day.

Michaelangelo Awards
We were treated to an insiders view of the Michaelangelo Wine Awards being conducted on Longridge Wine Estate. This is one of the world’s most prestigious wine awards with more than 2000 entries from as far away as China.
We observed the master Sommeliers doing the blind wine tastings and after a tour had a long discussion with one of Pieter’s friends who is one of the owners/organizers of the awards.
Wow!!
