Boekenhoutskloof Originally uploaded by jamesonf Great View from Tasting Bar even on a cloudy day.

Marc Kent Originally uploaded by jamesonf Love this guy! Also makes Wolftrap, Porcupine Ridge, The Chocolate Block. Tried a new Cab Franc-based wine called The Journeyman, which was fantastic. This was the guy I was looking forward to meeting the most and he did not disappoint.

Bouekenhoutskloof Originally uploaded by jamesonf Semillon from 40-100+ year old vines. Hand-torn label. Outstanding wine with great aging potential. Great with a duck salad.

Neil Ellis Lineup Originally uploaded by jamesonf Obligatory shot of the wines. Was surprised how much I like the Chardonnays; great acidity and balance, integrated oak.

Me at Neil Ellis Originally uploaded by jamesonf The view is pretty nice from this angle as well.
