Problem is that I don’t know too many growers or producers making money either. Who is appropriating all the profit in the wine business?

Hard to believe that so much capital is invested in the local wine industry for so little return.

As Einstein supposedly said – The definition of insanity is to continue doing the same thing expecting a different outcome…..

Of course the wine review guide is tasted blind, so that retains a measure of independence and I’ll be giving Lemoenfontein wine away to friends such as yourself, so I won’t be too much competition.

Will start styling myself a quasi-independent commentator, a bit like the independence of Bophutatswana in the bad old days.

On a lighter note, it may be time to edit the ‘independent’ position now that you are a producer, author of wine review guide and vineyard owner in the Swartland

Wish we had someone with your media reach here in the Franschhoek valley!
