· 1 min read
Now’s the time to say a last farewell to Dave Hughes by joining family and friends.
It’s a celebration of a life well lived, vintage by vintage, measured in labels peeled off bottles of wine and meticulously documented and filed.
In the spirit of sharing and caring, please bring along bottle of wine – to raise a glass, recount an anecdote or a memory, possibly shed a tear at his passing but hopefully to enjoy a good laugh with like-minded souls who loved and cared for him.
DATE: 3 April 2023 TIME: 16:00 till 19:00 VENUE: Laurent Hall, Lourensford Estate, Somerset West
Light snacks will be served.
We’d be grateful if you could pop an email to [email protected] to let us know for catering purposes if you are indeed attending.

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.

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.
