About Me
It could be that I love fine wine (not any old plonk you understand), because my ancestors came to Franschoek in the Cape of Good Hope hundreds of years ago, with that French vine rootstock, and while my parents had no direct connection to wine, my DNA did. Or it could be that I just fell in love with its mystery, its colour, its value, its currency, and its infinite variety. I live in Italy now, a country that vies for pole-position with France for producing the most wine. I have drunk wine from the Alps to Etna, some forgetable, some marvellous like the Super Tuscans of Antinori, Brunello, Dolcetto and others very fine. All accompanied by wonderful food. Yet my favorite wine region remains the Cape in South Africa, not only because of its sublime quality, complex wines and five star wine estates,accessible to everyone, but because my favorites are listed among those estates. I also favour Chile in both reds and whites, and some Australian wines. I am not a French wine expert, few could claim that. I list a few here but concentrate more on the "new world" and Italy. I know these very well and have written on them for 15 years. "Life is too short to drink cheap plonk"
