The Pinotage Club: July 2015

http://www.pinotage.org/2015_07_01_archive.html

WoTM - Beaumont Pinotage 2013. My Wine of the Month for July is Beaumont Pinotage 2013, WO Bot River 2013. I’ve long been a fan of Beaumont winery whose rustic old cellar, Compagnes Drift Farm, was an outpost of the Dutch East India Company. It’s located where the N2 motorway from Cape Town descends from the plateau that starts at Sir Lowry’s post, where the R43 peels off towards Hermanus. The winemaker is Sebastian Beaumont whose parents bought the property in 1974. Peter F May for The Pinotage Club.

This is emphatically not. The natural world is conjugated and extrapolated by the development of the agricultural. Moreover, agriculture is the.

My First Harvest | A Millennial Palate

https://tylercolley.wordpress.com/2010/11/01/my-first-harvest

Stories from the Wineguy. November 1, 2010. It’s not all barrel samples and talk about terroir. After the first day I was deciding whether to be more concerned about having a hunch back or purple hands for the rest of my life. And from the barrels on up you can tell they are trying to make serious wine, with success. Sol Rouge Vineyards and Vie Winery focus primarily on Rhone and Bordeax style wines, with many being single vineyard designates. The Whitehawk Vineyard Syrah and the L’Intruse Mour...You are...

Thursday, June 11, 2015. Rum Club: a Treffehn Trifecta. So I’m meeting Justin Siemer, bartender buddy, late night at the Rum Club.

Friday, January 9, 2015. Let us speak of Ruché. Let us speak with fondness and respect of Ruché. Or to be correct and giving due credit, Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato. An altogether delightful and charming red wine, unpretentious yet satisfying, amiable and accommodating, either as a sipper or a dinner companion. Ruché is that ra...
