I have heard good things about it and will certainly try to make it the next time we are down your way. Mike, Thanks for giving me the American moniker for Trilogy. My wife wants me to pass on that your Warwick Professor Black Sauvignon Blanc is one of her favorites and a now regular wine staple in our household. Colyn,

Mike,
Thanks for giving me the American moniker for Trilogy. My wife wants me to pass on that your Warwick Professor Black Sauvignon Blanc is one of her favorites and a now regular wine staple in our household.

It appears that you had a very special trip. I was really glad to hear about your excellent experience at Warwick - my team are good and we spend a huge amount of time on training. The WARWICK TRILOGY is widely available in the USA at about $28. It is called Warwick Estate RESERVE and is currently the only South African wine in the WINE SPECTATOR TOP 100 wines in the world. Thanks for giving Trilogy your highest rating - we always get excited when someone likes our wines!

Yes 2009 is the 350 year anniversary of our winelands but because of politics and so many other things the world has not yet had the opportunity to see and taste what we have to offer. Its a great pity that you couldnt come and visit the Robertson Wine Valley which is one of the best and second most popular route in SA, funny how wine writers never get guided our way. Anyway, it will be unfair to try and work the prices of our wine back in currency because it will always be much cheaper here than anywhere else in the world. Again, i hope that your trip and writings will also open USA consumers up to trying our wines. Thanks for the wonderful and kind words of South Africa.

I really hope you can put together a wine and World Cup trip next year. I know you'd love it, despite the distance. John Paul,

The travel aspect seems a little daunting, but if I can roll wine and World Cup together in 2010, that would be some trip. Excellent, excellent writing; thanks again! Paul John -
