South African Wine Course
Posted on February 1st, 2010 No commentsAre you tired of having dinner with your snootier glass-twirling, wine-snorting friends – and wondering how it is that the opinion of a person gargling wine in public, can be considered so solemnly? If like me, you are well fed-up with going out to dine with someone that assumes you can’t choose the wine (because, perhaps you can’t), then this course if for you.
The Cape Wine Academy now offers an introductory course on South African wines. The course covers wines styles, cause and effect tasting, vineyard practices and wine-making. All classes are given by respected experts- viticulturists, wine-makers, and those actively involved in the grape-growing business. Whether you’re a hobbyist, or someone looking to get your sea-legs in the industry, the course makes for a fantastic introduction intro the world of South Africa’s most heart-warming harvests.The course takes place at The River Club, Observatory, until the 16th of February. For further details call +27 (0)21 889 8844.
