· 1 min read
The South African Sommeliers Association (SASA) are proud to announce its first-ever fundraising networking dinner.
This celebration is a collaboration of local companies, friends and colleagues from the beverage and hospitality industries. The SASA team has thrown its collective force behind this event to make it a showstopper, all in the name of food and wine.
President, Higgo Jacobs, will host an evening focusing on SASA’s achievements to date, and plans for the future.
The event will be hosted on 26 May 2018 at the world-class venue, L’avenir Country Lodge and Wine Estate in Stellenbosch; situated in a tranquil and beautiful countryside setting. Guests will be treated to a delicious meal prepared by Gustaaf Boshoff from Stir Food, beautiful wine (with an option to bring a special bottle or two they’d like to share), locally brewed craft beer, artisan coffee and botanical welcoming gin & tonics. The evening will include entertainment by DJ Dario, a keynote speech by Minister Alan Winde and educated sommeliers serving our guests.

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.
