WINE NEWS & EVENTS | A panel-kind-of-week

"The worst thing that can happen is sometimes also the best thing that can happen." - Pepe Marais, Joe Public. 

Last week I attended the Wine Tourism Conference at Lanzerac and the Judges' Feedback Session from this year's Trophy Wine Show, with people like Jancis Robinson MW OBE, Cathy Van Zyl MW, and Anne Krobiehl MW weighing in on the state of SA wine from their recent Award deliberations. *The Trophy Wine Show Results will be announced on 8 June. 

The Wine Tourism Conference featured a whole day of talks from brand strategists, like founding member of Joe Public, Pepe Marais, to Paul Siguqa, owner of the 100% black-owned Franschhoek farm, Klein Goederust, sharing his inspiring story.
