Reminder - WBW tomorrow!
Q - what's red, alcoholic, South African and featured on this blog tomorrow?
A - It's Wine Blogging Wednesday, featuring my chosen theme of South African reds!
If you haven't bought a bottle yet, check out my buying tips here and then dash out to your local wine merchant and get shopping! Then dash home and get drinking, eating and writing.
I had my bottle on Sunday night and it was a goodie! Look forward to sharing it with all of you and hearing what everyone else drank.














My contribution posted on spittoon. A fun theme.

Hi Andrew - glad you liked the theme! And according to your post you found a real winner of a wine - must get me a bottle of that! Thanks for taking part & look out for the roundup towards the end of the week.

Hi Jeanne!
I posted a trackback but for some reason my contact info didn't come across so I'm leaving a comment, too. Thanks for your great background info on SA wines and for getting me out to try something new!

I sent you email, I think, but just in case not, here it is:

you can go ahead and doll out suitable punishment for my lack of ability to read the rules.

Is it possible that Lenn forgot about his own brainchild?
Nope...I'll be drinking mine tonight...I'll let you know ;) Seems like everyone has found good bottles thus far...which is a WBW first!

Here is my entry for WBW #6. I will also try to email. Thanks for hosting. I found two good choices that I now stock.

My first South African wine tasting. I learned a lot!

Hi Brenda, Moira, Sam, Derrick, Fatemeh, Jens and Alice!
Thank you all so much for joining in - and I'm thrilled to see that pretty much all of your tastings were successful - hurrah! Some nice wines in there that I haven't yet tried but will certainly look out for in the future.
I'm working on the roundup as we speak - will wait till tonight to catch any stragglers (Lenn, oh creator of all that is WBW, this includes you!;-)), so it should be up tomorrow.
Thanks again for playing along,
Jeanne
