Agri's Got Talent 2019: Changing lives note for note
· 2 min read
The Vinpro Foundation is excited and proud to be part of this unique singing competition and skills development programme for agri-workers in the wine and fruit industries, which is now accepting entries!
Agri’s Got Talent is the perfect stage to showcase the singing talent within our win and fruit industries. It provides a platform whereby agri-workers can share their talent with one another, the country, and who known, perhaps even the world!
But is is so much more than just a singing competition! The Vinpro Foundation has been fortunate to experience first-hand how this competition has changed the lives of not only those who entered, but also the greater farming community surrounding the participants.
We encourage all the hidden singing talents on the farms, in the cellars and pack houses to grab this opportunity with both hands and share their talents with everyone in the industry and beyond.
Chairperson Sharon February notes, “We [The Vinpro Foundation] supports this competition BECAUSE PEOPLE MATTER!”
The gala evening will take place on 2 August 2019 at the Lord Charles Hotel in Somerset West.

INCLUDE: Name and surname, date of birth, own cell number, name of farm/cellar/pack house, job description, how long have you been working on the farm and nearest town.

The Portrait of a South African Winemaker
In James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Stephen Dedalus resolves to express himself "as freely as I can and as wholly as I can". Joyce's hero refuses to be just one thing. That same many-sided energy is increasingly being asked of the modern South African winemaker, who has to adopt different faces for different places.
Who will drink South African wine tomorrow?
Tomorrow’s wine drinker is already here, standing at the braai with a can in one hand and a phone in the other. South African wine still has time to join the occasion, although it may need to loosen its collar first.
Ice in the Chenin and other South African wine crimes
There is ice in the Chenin Blanc, Cap Classique in an ordinary wine glass and a bowl of curry waiting beside a bottle of something pink. By old wine standards, the afternoon is a small crime scene.
