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.

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

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.
