Wine tasting
Harvest House hosted a wonderful wine tasting evening organised by Vinimark. What a fabulous turnout of people, and all experienced a variety of wines from numerous vineyards. Delicious snacks were supplied by Harvest House, and all patrons could be seen enjoying themselves, learning about the wines and many went on to purchase the wines of their choice. From Alto, Bosman, Ernie Els, Muratie and more – there were some 15 vintners on ‘display’ with 66 wines on offer.
The event really got ‘going’ at about 16:00 and it is true to say that there were some stragglers, wallowing in the eruption of flavours and nose, right through to the bitter end! Bound by our privacy rules we are sadly not allowed to mention names.
All in all, a fantastic event, great venue, great food and wonderful hospitality (not to mention the superb wines on offer). Well done to all. We look forward to the next event, in ‘antici ……. pation’!
Lead story comment
It has come to our attention as we were going to print that in a progressive development to the lead story, there was a combined operation conducted by SAPS and Farmwatch to the illegal mining sites where they had had limited interaction with the miners. There is no doubt that the mining is illegal and causing great harm to the environment and the Blyde River.
