Hello
all!
We
are having a wonderful time in South Africa. We have finished our tour of Cape
Town which has earned a reputation for its fine wine and food scene. We were
invited to a wine dinner by our Wine Master, Bennie Howard, a leading authority
within the wine and hospitality industry. All of the wines were from South
Africa and most of the paired wines had a double gold award( highest
standard/standard you can achieve through the Veritas Wine inspection( leading
wine critics and authority in South Africa and Mr. Howard is the Vice President
of the society).
South Africa is known for their verity of grapes but the
most important varietals would be the Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Pinotage.
The Pinotage grape variety was specifically engineered in South Africa
and is very much part of the wine scene representing South Africa wine.
We
then flew from Cape Town to Durban where we are staying for the next three day. Today, we learned a new dish called "Bunny Chow" (FIRST picture below) and it is a very common dish from
Durban, "Bunny Chow" incorporates curry and South African elements. Overall an exciting day.
