This is the time of the year when I release plenty of new wines. I consequently commit a substantial amount of my time to one of my favourite pastimes – wine tastings! You are welcome to book me for a casual wine tasting afternoon/evening with friends or a corporate wine tasting with your colleagues.
I have many new tasting options: We can compare the new Moment of Silence 2010 (not yet released) to the 2009 vintage – who knows, I might even be tempted to throw in one of the last bottles of the 2007 vintage. Then there’s The MISFIT 2009 (not yet released), a straight Carignan. We’re also now able to compare the previous Spaniard 2007 to the new BIG Spaniard 2009 and then there is the mysterious Nothing to declare 2010. So if you haven’t hosted a winetasting in the last year, it’s time for an update!
To see what others have to say about the BLANKbottle wine tastings click here. Also see below for tasting procedures as well as dates I’ll be in Joburg.
Tasting procedures:
1. E-mail me suitable dates as well as venue (could be your house, office – name it, I’ve done it!).
2. I will check dates, travelling options etc. and if I can work out something I’ll confirm.
3. You invite the people (optimally between 10 and 30). I will rock up with my wines. We taste 6 – 13 wines. The group pay for the wine consumed on the night. For tasting, we use 1 bottle for 20 people.
4. After the tasting I will take orders and the wine will be delivered at your home address. I deliver all over SA.
Joburg: Current available dates – 28th and 29the July.
Cape Town: I’m flexible as I’m located in the area.
Durban, PE and East London: Possible if I can book 3 – 5 tastings in a week. E-mail me for enquiries, I’ll keep track of tasting requests on my side.
