Opening the Pot of Gold

Posted: November 23rd, 2011 | By Neil Pendock


Geneva-based financial gnome Adrian Van der Spuy was born on the farm Rainbow’s End in the Banghoek Valley between Stellenbosch and Pniel. Fairy tales locate a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, which would put one on Oldenburg, Adrian’s farm below Rainbow’s End. He opened his new tasting room today with a blow-out lunch catered by Eat Out’s Chef of the Year, Luke Dale Roberts (below).

With so much good food in the busy world of wine tourism, it’s amazing how the guests (above) keep their svelte figures!

How many tasting room openings do the big koppe of WOSA go to anderkant die berg? These people are making parties all the time while we wine farmers are crying. Sies!

    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.
