stormhoek coming to america

It's official: Stormhoek is coming to America in March.

[NOTE TO SELF:] How do I ruthlessly exploit this for personal gain?

[ALSO:] I was in Maryport earlier today. I actually saw the now-famous dolphin swimming around. Poor creature.

Sounds as though you have missed the UK's favourite whale http://lewiswhalewatch.blogspot.com/ :-)

Here is the upside.
Stormhoek becomes the most talked about wine in the world.
The head lemur makes enough money to build an addition to his house.
What's not to love about a 40 foot high bottle of wine?

Downside.
Somebody shoots the balloon, South Phoenix talks like donald duck for a week.
Not a bad downside....
operators are standing by..............

For one, I'm a blogger - send me a bottle?

Just thinking out loud...

For those that are lucky enough to be in places like Austin in March, what days and where will they be launching? More specifically, are you guys going to be in the area of SXSW (where I will conveniently be, hoping there's a bottle or two left for me to take home to Canada)?

Thanks!

I am guessing it would not be difficult to get an invite to the event. Let me know I'll drive down from Flagstaff for the Phoenix one.

I made my request back in August - http://www.mostlymuppet.com/archives/2005/08/15/vino/ - but I'm happy to make it again: I'd love a bottle of Stormhoek to sample and review (blog).

I changed my mind. Forget it.

But the really good news is we get to drink the stuff a month early at the Naked Conversations SV launch party. Thanks for your roll in that blessin, Hugh.
