· 2 min read
RMB WineX takes place from 24 to 26 October at the Sandton Convention Centre. SA’s Must-Attend wine event and premiere consumer wine show of 19 years will again bring an exceptional line-up of premium wine brands to the heart of Jozi: it’s Sandtonbosch, really. Stylistas, trendsetters and the wine curious should plan to pamper their palates with all that is new and exciting in the world of wine at the single largest gathering of the country’s A-list wineries and influencers.
Beautiful stands, eye-candy labels, award-winning wines, engaging exclusive time with the winemaker in the RMB Private Bank Tasting Lounge, and delicious tapas-tastes provided by Mastrantonio and select food exhibitors all form part of the RMB WineX experience. More than a Must-Do event, RMB WineX also provides the opportunity to stock up on Must-Have wines via the Shop@Show facility managed by the neighbourhood’s fine wine retailer Norman Goodfellows.

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.
