A lovely lunch at @marble_jhb as we celebrate 25 years of @tokarawine !

Thank you so much for having me, team Tokara. So much inspiration, passion and hard work in a glass.

Cheers to you! Cheers to the new Tokara Cabernet Sauvignon Simonsberg! Cheers to another 25 years (and more) of generational winemaking.

Blessed to have tasted some of SA's finest terroirs today.

So many cool local brands out there! From earrings made from paper to super cool jerseys, I was in absolute awe of the creatives we have out there.

Tasted a variety of wines this afternoon and I was

Tasted a variety of wines this afternoon and I was once again reminded of the reason I've come to love wine so much. It's in the sentiment it holds. The terroir it comes from and how you can - if you are truly in the moment - taste the clay soil, the granite, the salty mist. It's how a wine can take you back hundreds of years, to where your heritage started. A large chunk of my heritage lies in Franschhoek soil and I suppose - in a way - I always find that hint of nostalgia as I swirl a glass of wine, curiously bring my nose closer and then expectantly take a sip.

As a writer, I also love how every wine has a different story to tell. Apart from South Africa's wine farms that all have incredible stories to tell, even the wine in itself has a wonderful and intense journey from vineyard to bottle and it's always so inspiring to see how, even amidst the most difficult years - like with the old vineyards and non-irrigated vines - the fruit still produce wonderfully unique wines.

Thank you, DGB for hosting us today and for including me in your masterclass. It was an inspiring afternoon among fellow wine lovers.
