Cape Town: Wine and More Wine

While in Cape Town, Lorraine and I joined a day tour to the Stellenbosch vineyards.  I think we sampled between 30-35 wines (I lost count).  South Africa is known from its Pinotage, but I was partial to the ports. Along with the wines, we sampled local cheeses, chocolate, and cuisine.  Yummy !
At one particularly sophisticated vineyard, they piped baroque music to the vines to promote their growth.  Talk about cultured grapes !
All in all, a fine day was had by all !

Our merry crew ! 






This was at a vineyard in the Constantia region.  Oh, did I not mention that we toured not one, but two, wine regions?
