A recipe for fun:
Take a boutique winery making small quantities of premium wines, and mix with an artisan cheesemaker who handcrafts special cheeses: mix this with a vibrant, fun-loving crowd of people at the Port Owen Yacht Club. Challenge them to identify the ideal wine to go with each cheese – and voila, you have a spectacularly fun evening!
Lemberg Wine Estate from the Tulbagh valley makes small quantities of carefully crafted wines. Thank you to the owners, Henk and Suzette de Bruyn, for showcasing their elegant wines, and sharing their passion for their wines. David and Carolyn Malan from Kokerboom Kaas make a range of delicious artisan cheeses and are equally passionate about their products. It was great fun tasting, tasting, and tasting again. We had a winner – John Hall’s pairing matched that of the expert panel of tasters!
A huge thank you to the behind-the-scenes people who helped make the evening on 9 March 2023 a success: George Breeze with his mussel soup, Santie and Marius for their bean soup, and Cornè, Jacques, and Brett for managing the logistics and manning the bar.
A good time was had by all!
