[UPDATE:] The first Blogger's Stormhoek review is in. The link is here.
The moment of truth is upon us though, how was it for us (I let my wife have some too. Generous I thought!) - Jane described it thus:Thanks Paul, that was very kind. As far as further UK samplings are concerned, there's a new Stormhoek Rosé coming out in a couple of months; maybe we can do something with that.It was very fresh and sharp flavour. Very drinkable, and I think I need another glass to check my appreciation. [Said while insisting I get her another glass]For myself I would tend to agree, very dry, fresh and crisp. Lovely.
I am oft to pour another glass and see whether I can order some more...
Thanks Hugh and if you want to do the sample thing again, I live in Europe and North America.
[UPDATE:] Another Stormhoek review from musicandstuff:
Here is my review, although considering that I know nothing about wine apart from that it gets me drunk, you might not take it too seriously.Rock on.It’s a lovely South African White…and er it tasted great. Nice and fruity or something, but most importantly for me there was absolutely no harsh after-taste like you often get with wine….this is probably because I always drink £4 bottles of white from Asda.
A thought - I think in the past you've talked about being focused in blogs, that nobody cares what people had for breakfast that morning or who they went for lunch with the night before unless it's relevant to the blog.
So why would I be interested in their opinion on wine, if what I'm really interested in is their opinion on 'X'?
