Tasting the Fruits of South African Soil

Cape Town and the Western Province are blessed with good soil, warm weather and generous rains to grow some excellent grapes, which then become the wine that this region has gained popularity for. Today we visited Lanzerac for a wine tasting.

After learning how to taste wine we samples a light and fruity Chardonnay  a bright Rose,and more hardy Merlot, Pinotage and Cabernet Sauvignon.

I guess some people in our group may have less experience with alcohol, as by the end of our wine-tasting they were singing french Canadian folk songs and even O Canada!
