From Africa to America, Somerset West to Southern hospitality yet tonight I’m sipping on a Glass of Bordeaux. 🇺🇸🇿🇦

It’s our second Thanksgiving here in the USA, and we’re beyond grateful for the kindness and the new chapters. But, I will always heart that yearns for Africa, for home, for family, for friends, and for the unmistakable spirit of the South African table.

Tonight, we are pouring the 2014 Clos Beauregard Pomerol. It’s an exercise in contrast and complexity—much like moving continents.
This wine is the definition of “time and place.” A decade in the bottle have smoothed its once-grippy tannins, replacing youthful fruit with profound, contemplative notes of truffle, leather, and old cedar. It demands your attention, reminding you that the greatest beauty often lie in patience and evolution.

This old world Merlot mastery are the perfect mirror for our journey: Structured, resilient, and growing richer with every passing year. It also happens to be the perfect partner for our Roast Leg of Lamb dinner (we haven’t yet taken on the Turkey challenge)

Cheers to those who are here, those who are far, and to all who are celebrating Thanksgiving today

For those of you who’ve moved countries, what’s the one wine, meal, or smell that instantly transports you back home?

A winery that I just wish I visited earlier in my time in the Western Cape of South Africa. I get the feeling that this would have been a frequent stop for us!
Stunning wines and equally interesting Olive Oil as well

The Sauvignon Blanc provided the perfect refreshment for a family photo day - escaping the heat of the sun and the instructions of the camera holding puppeteer

The Vermentino was ideal alongside the pizza oven. Ice cold and fresh - this variety is perfectly paired with sunshine and good times

What a pleasure to enjoy this beautiful range of wines, hint : there will be some wine making its way back in my luggage for sure

Digging through the wines in the cellar that we left behind earlier this year when we made the big move.

This Cinsault 2017 is a beautiful wine! It encapsulates the essence of a Summer Christmas!

The nose offers up a bright and refreshing bouquet of fresh red fruit - raspberries, strawberries, and cherries, with a hint of floral notes.
A palate showcasing vibrant red berry flavors, a touch of spice

A summer evening treat!

I was asked this really difficult question:
“If I only had time to visit one winery when in South Africa, which would I visit?”

Now this is really a tough ask… there are so many wineries that make a high priority visit list, and many make it only my list of recommendations for visitors, but after some time pondering, came out tops

We have fantastic memories of this winery, a stunning range of red wines, a crisp Blanc de Blancs Cap Classique and this sensational Chardonnay

If you are ever visiting the cape Winelands and are looking for recommendations, feel free to drop me a DM
