Heartbreaking news coming out of South Africa that renowned human rights advocates George Bizos has died 💔

As our judges conclude their tasting of SA #SauvignonBlanc wines for 2020, we would like to take a moment to thank FNB for their support for this competition.The Top 20 wines will be announced during Sept & the Virtual 2020 #SauvignonBlancSAtop10 Awards takes place on Wed 14 Oct.

@LdeBassompierre @LindtSA Hubby is obviously so lief vir jou, Lindt chocolate soek waar julle is, respect, wees baie goed vir hom!

Wondered why my husband was late arriving back from work. Turns out he was driving around Abidjan trying to find me a @LindtSA Crème Brûlée 🍫 (two in fact).

And we’re off! The 2020 #SauvignonBlancSAtop10 judging taking place from today, Tues 1 Sept - Thur 3 Sept @ Uitkyk Wine Estate. Pictured - judges, judging 149 #SauvignonBlanc wines. We look forward to the announcement of the 2020 winners, supported financially by FNB, on 14 Oct.

@LdeBassompierre Ai man, can just imagine how upset the kids are, Nikolaas still does not know that we made the decision to relieve Lula from the pain, horrible but logical decision, amazing animals we are super fortunate to have in our lives for such a sort time. Ons onthou altyd vir Flash!

@ChefIanBergh He’s been receiving weekly treatment for a parasite for months and was just not getting better. He lost almost all his hair and there was nothing more they could do for him 😢

It was with immense sadness and the heart-wrenching, inconsolable cries of our 8yo son that we said goodbye to our family dog in Abidjan today. They’re pictured together here shortly after we adopted him in Cape Town in September 2014.

@LdeBassompierre Natuurlik! Groot oortjies met altyd ñ super excited gesiggie, ororgeborrel van energie, shame man. Hy was nog jonk, wat het gebeur met hom?

@LdeBassompierre Ag nee! Flash, shame man, RIP Flash.😞😞😞

My house is still heady from the aromas of the slow-simmered lamb knuckle Madras curry. Warm and deeply satisfying.

We're celebrating our fourth Top 10 place in a row in the @Winemag reports this year – this time for the Amandelboord #Pinotage 2018, along with 90 points for the current 2019 vintage of this consistent top performer. degrendel.co.za/blogs/news/ama…

The Jonkershoek Valley in #Stellenbosch this morning 07:15 - 4 degrees and spectacular! @VisitStellies @StellWineRoute

We’re nearing the end of our family motorhome trip through Germany and Austria, so I thought I’d share some observations about traveling during a pandemic as my home country South Africa opens up interprovincial travel at midnight.

My business partner and best mate, Pete de Bruin, passed away on Thursday 23rd after a short and devastating battle with cancer. I feel as though I have been holding my breath for the last 4 month…almost like… instagram.com/p/CDObDLOpNnQ/…
