Well the much anticipated People’s Guide is out and we indulged in a spot of guerilla marketing at Nedbank’s Green Wine Awards at the Mount Nelson this lunchtime. Following the lead set by Jamie Goode blogging his recent visit to the Winelands, some snaps:

Fantastic review for The People’s Guide by lifestyle “kenner” Emile Joubert:

This guide exceeds my expectations. Love the mix of facts, did you knows, lay-out. Well done! It’s going to give Dan Brown a run!

This is very good Pendock and Olivier. When I update my book Guerilla Marketing I will be sure to add a chapter on sending rave reviews to oneself with untraceable names like Cindy-Su or Inke, Chandre-Marlize or Hannes. Good stuff.

Dear JC

The rave review from Emile Joubert is far from untraceable – he lives on the http://www.winegoggle.co.za blog.

Cheers

Hey Jay
Yes, it is I who sent those words to Neil via text last Wednesday. Despite being pissed when I sent them, I stick to my opinion. Try another one, pinkie.

    Called "South Africa's most influential wine writer" by DrinksBiz, a "wijngoeroe" 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 Paarderg 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.
