Four of our bravest members donned their donkey jackets and unfurled their umbrellas to taste and talk about the philosophy of boutique wines, viticulture, the state of the nation and whether the Stormers’ winning streak is sustainable. Check out Graham Howe’s take on the Waterfront Wine Affair here:

Have a wonderful festive season and new year!
A gloriously mild Friday evening saw food and wine gourmands catch a bout of spring fever when the Durbanville Boutique Wine Association hosted its inaugural Reds, Whites and Blues festival at Eureka Estate. Tickets were completely sold out, with last-minute hopefuls and optimistic gatecrashers left out at the Crossroads with the Feeling Bad Blues.
Our Blues Lounge, courtesy of Wetherlys Willowbridge set a perfect stage for Basson Laubscher and The Violent Free Peace (Schalk van der Merwe on bass and Tim Rankin on drums) to let it rip with Blues classics that had the crowd begging for more while ten courses of delectable dishes prepared by Eureka Functions were served as the evening progressed. More than twenty wines were matched to these dishes with the surprise of the evening being the launch of a Port made by the Durbanville Boutique Wine Association in partnership with the Rotary Club of Durbanville with proceeds going to the farm schools of the area.
The event again underlined the motto of the DBWA: “Size is unimportant when it comes to matters of passion”.
So diarise the next Reds, Whites & Blues for the first Friday evening of September 2010 and make sure to book your tickets well in advance.
As one of the greatest Bluesmen of all time, John Lee Hooker, sang:
BOOM BOOM!
Boom boom boom boom
I’m gonna shoot you right down,
right offa your feet
Take you home with me,
put you in my house
Boom boom boom boom
