Pic of the Day: October 9

With this view of Table Mountain, you’d never know that the De Grendel winery is tucked behind an oil refinery.

We picked up a lovely Sauvignon Blanc, and another bottle of the Shiraz that Evan & Helen had served up to us on one of our first Cape Town dinners.  The tasting experience was low-key and friendly.  The wines were delicious.  The prices were under $10 a bottle.

At first, I was happy about being in wine paradise.  Until I realized that it would ruin my enjoyment of most of the rest of the wine world.  Damn you, South Africa!
