Another Fun Evening of Tasting and Learning
Monday 30 January 2017
Our first tasting meeting was so successful that I ran it for a second time. The Cape Wine Lovers’ Society blends together many passions I have: a passion for wine, a love of learning, pleasure from sharing and entertaining, and a strong sense of fun and adventure.
Well Hosted and Enjoyable – Even Though I did not Experience at its Best
Intriguing and Confusing – An Enigmatic Experience
The Cape Wine Lovers’ Society is Up and Running – and Tasting!

We had our first meeting last night and what fun it was. The moment had come after all the planning and research. I had visited 9 of the 14 vineyards in the Constantia Valley and surrounds to select single variety wines for the evening. Yes, can you name them all? Please comment here.
