South Africa's leading independent drinks commentator…
 

If heaven exists…

Posted: September 14th, 2007 | By Neil Pendock


Rumour has it, if heaven exists, it looks like rural Tuscany. I’m in Italy this week, checking out celestial credentials. Tastings are organized at Tignanello on Tuesday, Casanova di Neri on Wednesday and Vignavecchia on Thursday. Not sure how reliable cell phone blogging is from heaven, but I’ll try to file regular communiqués.

  • About

    Called "South Africa's most influential wine writer" by DrinksBiz (NZ), a "wijngoeroe" and "beminnelijk maar snoeihard" by De Telegraaf, a "Master of SA Writing" by Ernst Gouws and voted “most trusted palate” by readers of WINE magazine, Neil Pendock is South Africa’s leading Indie drinks commentator.

    An "enthusiastic amateur", he owns a small farm on the Paardeberg which used to supply a few grapes to Swartland Winery, a producer he never wrote about. After two decades in the spittoon, he retains a healthy disregard for the anoraks, bowties and Emperors of drink and their new clothes.
