Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
The website is not quite ready but the 3rd annual WACKY WINE
WEEKEND has just been announced. Across the Robertson wine area a mass of events is taking place June
2-4, 2006.
For the more healthy, there is a half-marathon, but more up my street is a chauffeur service (to
encourage responsible tasting) between vineyards. Special fly-in packages from Johannesburg and Durban will be
available.
Meet-the-Winemaker tastings form the hub of the event with special barrel tastings. Food too
forms a huge part of the fun too. Activities include boat cruises; river rafting, live music, cheese &
olive tastings, golf, tractor trips, vineyard quad biking and so on.
Costs: A passport will be purchased for R30 at your first port of call (any participating winery). This includes a tasting glass in addition to a "Friends of the Valley" booklet, listing special offers valid for 6 months after the Wacky Wine Weekend. All other activities are pay-as-you-go with more than a third of the activities free of charge.
