QOTD: World Cup 2010!
I’m pretty sure I had a Neederburg as my 1st or 2nd pinotage and was also pleasantly surprised. Grabbed it for the price to share with non-wine geeks and everyone really liked it. Good on ya SA!

Hey Gary ! I like the T shirt 😀

QOTD: The first word that comes to mind when I think of South Africa is “Springboks” (it s a gazelle type animal) it s the name given to the South African rugby team.

QOTD: World Cup 2010

I’ve neer tried a pinotage. My only experience with SA wine is the Rustenberg X Merriman red I’ve had. I’ll give it a shot.

QOTD: Apartheid.

QOTD: Charlize Theron

Great show Gary, I suspected that Pinotage was a good value play, now I know I’m not the only one who does.

QOTD: Apartheid and Charlize Thereon

Unfortunately, nothing good comes to mind. AIDS, apartheid blood diamonds, and all of the worst of colonial Africa. I have a hard time separating previous politics from the current wine makers many of who were significant apartheid supporters in the past. Glad you did a Pintoage episode but I have to say I am among the haters. I have tried and tried to like this wine because the price point is good but the burnt tire and banana nose on most of them is off putting and a few have been the worst wines I have ever put in my mouth. Keep trying new things and keep expanding but sometimes a varietal sticks in your head as bad and won’t go away and Pintoage is that for me.

I tried several pinotages a few years ago and was a bit underwhelmed, at least at the below $20 price point. This show induces me to try them again. Thanks for that. FUTURE SHOW SUGGESTION – really good off-dry still wines, such as German rieslings since so many types in this country look down on off-dry wines.

QOTD: World Cup 2010!

world cup, world trick cup. Zimbabwe (eeeeeuuurg)

QOTD: Nelson Mandela

Thanks for the PEE NO TAGE episode. nice one. QOTD : WORLD CUP 2010.

Dave Matthews

QOTD: shantytown. sorry.

I’ve been waiting for a pinotage episode! Thank you!

QOTD: Charlize… Charlize…

QOTD: Dave Matthews and sharks

QOTD: pinotage

What if my local wine store had 3 pinotage wines available? What if I picked the boring one?

QOTD: wine and Stellenbosch, Jiko in Disneyworld, which has an excellent SA wine list, and one of my best friends who was born there

ROCKS BABY, SOUTH AFRICA ROCKS, and Gary It;s False BAY [rhymes with hay]
Nice Show, as a South African in the wine industry, so not like Pinotage but the Nederburg is certainly one i will try
Cheers
Nice Show

Mr Lawrence Leichtman
Get with the times and leave the past right there. Be a bit more open minded, maybe go and visit the place and stop being so naive. Yes, our country does have problems [which one does not] and as a South African winemaker, we are not all as rigid as you seem to be
