I’m baaack!

July 15, 2009

It’s been a while since I posted, and thanks for your patience in waiting for me to get going again.
 
Part of the reason I’ve been a bit slack about posting is that I’ve had a few setbacks. I’d been in negotiation to lease a premises from which I would make and sell my wine alongside a restaurant and art gallery, so I was hoping to be able to share all sorts of dishes and recipes – the main reason for starting this blog, after all, was to chat about the things I love, namely, wine, food and country life. Unfortunately, that fell through – but, as they say, when one door closes, another opens. I’ve needed some time to dust myself off and look for a new home to make my 2010 vintage. Some doors are ajar, but nothing is certain yet. I’ll keep you posted.
 
Great news is that some of my wine has crossed the sea and is on its way to Europe.

Everything happens for a reason … there are bigger and better opportunities waiting for you :)

An amazing experience to see my name on a wine bottle. I was checking out ewine.co.za and I saw my name at the base of the “new products” list. My first thought was that somehow they had grabbed my name through the browser but then I was delighted to see that it was for real. Thank you Dean and David!

I am a Process Consultant for an engineering company working in the mining industry and based in Perth (with an office in Joburg). In Joburg at the moment and I would like to get my hands on a bottle or two to take home. Can you advise where I am likely to get some in Randburg, Bryanston or Sandton.

Cheers
