There was much considered sipping (sadly not by me) and here they are – the winners of this year’s Shiraz SA challenge. The annual awards ceremony, which took place last week, was of necessity virtual for the first time ever. You can see it here. I know you cannot rush out and buy any of these fine wines right now due to our moronic (yes, I’m calling it as I see it) wine ban, but you can get your online orders in so long. Let’s dig deep and keep on supporting SA wine in these trying times. Happy (eventual) sipping!

About this article: I only write about places and things I actually really like. Should I receive complimentary meals/tickets/diamonds, this will always be revealed. I’m not in the rubbishing business, so if something is not my cup of tea, I’ll simply not write about it (but I’ll keep the diamonds). Therefore this is not so much a review, as a personal recommendation of places and things I like.
