South African Wine

The South African wine industry was certainly affected by the apartheid era. Some might say it has come out with positive results, while others may say it has never recovered. South Africa is definitely producing some of the most superb wine?s which are becoming more and more popular around the world.

South African wine routes are countless, and some of the most beautiful in the world. It is an excellent idea to contact a wine club in South Africa and arrange to see the wine routes and participate in a wine tasting.

Some of the South African wine routes include:

Constantia in the Cape - this is where the first vineyards were planted,

Elgin, just east of Stellenbosch ? predominantly a fruit-growing area,
Franschhoek, west of Stellenbosch ? soil and rainfall good for production of a wide variety of wine styles,
Paarl ? traditionally producing white wine but starting to focus more on reds now,
Robertson ? known for its whites,
Stellenbosch, a short distance from Cape Town and a focal point in the wine industry ? find red wines are produced in the east while whites are produced in the west,

White wines of South Africa are particularly delicious and the three most popular white wines produced in South Africa are Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling.

Some of the most popular South African red wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage and Merlot. Pinotage especially is most commonly produced in South Africa.

If you join a wine club in South Africa you will be informed of all latest developments in the South African wine industry, and also advised on any current specials.

It is also very easy to find a wine tour in South Africa which is suited to your needs. You can spend a day doing wine-tasting and taking in the scenery. Or you could spend a weekend on a beautiful wine farm which offers, wine-tasting, full accommodation and food. In my mind, this is a hundred times better than a regular hotel. There are so many different packages you can choose from, so why not link another South African attraction to your wine tour, such as whale watching for example. You could even go golfing in the winelands of the Cape, or take in the scenery from horseback. There certainly is something for everyone!

Find information on the internet or visit a tourism and information office in South Africa for all the information you need!

Gravy Man

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 09:08:35 -0800
The turkey went in the oven this morning at 7:00 am. The lid will be removed in a few minutes for a final browning. I’ll make a butterscotch roux and use the stock for gravy. We have copious amounts of stuffing and mashed potatoes upon which to ladle it. I couldn’t care less. As soon as the turkey comes out, in goes a spiral-sliced ham to warm. Hopefully, the green bean casserole will arrive with the Wife’s twin sister and I’ll be good to go. Speaking of the Wife, she’s spent the last two day

A-Game 2008

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 16:36:06 -0800
I've got so much work ahead of me, but I'm making some progress. It's not too late! I spatched my turkey and the legs and wings are confiting in the oven, the breasts are tied and chillin' in a brine of coriander and fennel seed (from the garden), satsuma oranges and kefir lime leaves (with a splash of old Pinot), and the kabocha and kuri squashes for my tart are roasting along with the quinces and cranberries for the chutney. I have prepped my carrots and am gearing up to make the custard for

What’s on the menu?

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:23:31 -0800
I saw Carrisa posting her Thanksgiving menu and I got inspired to do the same. Except ours is probably MORE pathetic since ours will only be for TWO adults and one nine year old. Liam may eat some table scraps. Evie gets a jar. Yeah, we just had to beat off the social invites this year with a STICK, I tell ya. And even goofier? I’m not the one who will be doing the vast majority of the cooking. HEE! Yeah, Kile is doing it because Kile is the bomb. So, as far as I know, this is our menu:

Liquor Direct Holiday Spectacular

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:45:00 -0800
Actually, it's their "Holiday Show", but it is rather impressive. Liquor Direct's final wine tasting of the year is worth a few minutes of your time this Friday or Saturday. Maybe you've had a little too much turkey, in-laws, or parents. Maybe you have been driven crazy by Black Friday. Or maybe, just maybe, you know a good deal when you hear it. This last tasting is pretty much a thank you to all the loyal customers. Liquor Direct breaks out the high end and extremely tasty wine. And it's s
