Pendock Uncorked

South Africa's leading independent drinks commentator…
 

Bush Mystery

Posted: August 26th, 2012 | By Neil Pendock


It was the tactile nature of the Fairtrade De Bos labels launched last week at Luke-Dale Robert’s Pot Luck Club that raised a laugh when Bosman marketing maven Neil Buchner (below) compared the feel to that of the balasmandjie depicted on them.

Which reminded me of the question raised of English poet Wystan Hugh Auden (below). “If his face is that wrinkled, whatever does his scrotum look like?”

  • 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.
