| The Nederburg Auction pre-tasting kicked off on Monday morning 12 July bright and early at the Nederburg Wine Estate. Some of the wines were so old, most of the room had to stand (as a sign of respect) while tasting it - what an interesting year it will be! |

| The children from De Meye Wines were taken to Doornbosch to perform the Diski dance. In addition to dancing, they had an unforgettable time absorbing their surroundings - jumping castles, being spoilt by the locals and the kindness of another child who let them play with his lego - their first experience with the toy. www.annafoundation.com |

| Sakkie Kotze, winemaker at Stellenbosch estate Le Bonheur since 1993, recently treated a small media group to a vertical tasting of ten vintages of Prima, his signature red blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. With fires crackling in the gracious Cape Dutch manor house, guests tasted their way through the 1995, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 vintages of the only blend produced by Le Bonheur.
As a surprise, Kotze brought out a bottle of the 1989 vintage for tasting, still in fine form, amply demonstrating Prima's longevity. Favourites in the line-up included the 1995, 1997, 2001 and 2005 vintages, with the 1989 not far behind. The general consensus was that the younger vintages are now coming into their own and showing the benefit of advances in viticulture on the farm.
A hearty winter farm-style lunch, prepared by Kotzes wife Maritha, concluded the event.

| Yesterday afternoon Kaapzicht celebrated the opening of the soccer world cup and the start of the first match between South Africa and Mexico.
We surprised our workers by handing them not only their payslip, but also a yellow Bafana-Bafana T-shirt (our National Soccer team's colours) and instead of sending them home after a week's work, we invited them to watch the opening ceremony live on a big screen in our hall.
All their family and friends were welcome to join, (those are the ones not wearing the yellow shirts) ?the queue at the bar was never ending, two huge iron pots of "potjiekos" were slowly cooking over the fire and everyone was invited to "dig in" once the food was ready.
The noise, hooting of vuvuzelas and enthusiastic support for what was happening on the big screen, was ear deafening, but as you will see from the pictures, it was big smiles all round.
So the news? Kaapzicht's people do not only work to make good wine, they can also party!!!
Have a look!
Viva South Africa !

| The launch of a new palate pleasing Methode Cap Classique Rose turned into a festive celebration at The House of J.C. Le Roux, when the elegant new J.C. Le Roux La Vallee Rose took centre stage.
The new Rose dazzled the guests with its beautiful salmon blush and light yeasty and powerful fruit flavours. |
