Bottle of Wine...

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, When you gonna let me get sober ,Let me alone, Let me go home Let me go back and start over... (Tom Paxton, Bottle of Wine)

Preparing for another grueling sampling
The wine tour of Stellenbosch (and surrounding areas) commenced this morning and continued until appr. 7 p.m. tonight. Five wineries and over 30 wines tasted. As my friend Jeff likes to say, I achieved "Bloop" status at around 3:30pm.

The scenery is stunning, blows away anything I saw in Napa, Australia, or New Zealand (oh, and Virginia). The wine was pretty tasty also. We bought three bottles to be consumed in the next couple of weeks.



Tomorrow it's off on a grand tour of Cape Town and surrounding areas, including canoeing with penguins. Yes, we plan on photos of that and whatever else comes our way.

That's all for now, off to dinner at the Waterfront.

Cheers,

-Steve

      No, doesn't look like I'll have time for that, but I did cage diving with sharks, and did watched whales frolic around about 30 yards off shore. Off to the Garden Route tomorrow.

Hey there, Steve here with a heads up:

When you leave a comment it won't appear right away because I have "Comment Moderation" turned on. This is a PG-13 blog, after all...

Do not let that stop you; keep your comments coming!!!

Also, can you leave your name? Would like to know who's leaving comments.
