The Wine Show

The second annual Nelson Mandela Bay Wine Show is taking place at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium this weekend.  I dropped in last night to have a look around and was very very impressed.  Both with the quality of the wine estates being represented as well as the turnout of both wine connoisseurs and social wine drinkers.  All the wine estates exhibiting offer wines to taste and I noticed quite a few folk leaving with boxes full of bottles.  Off coarse the show organisers aren't encouraging drinking and driving, so chauffeur service GoodFellas are on hand to drive home any show visitors who feel that they may have had just a tad too much to drink taste.
