A night with Hawksmoor wines
Set on one of the busiest roads in Johannesburg, witkoppen, is a quaint beach bar with personality galore! The greenhouse was the home for this wine tasting with Hawksmoor wines.

Chenin Blanc for the win! #WineSnob
Chenin Blanc has had a reputation for being ‘that other white wine’. It’s not as known and loved as Sauvignon Blanc, and it doesn’t have the swagger of Chardonnay. But I have seen the change and I like it! Thanks to the growth of this special white grape right here in South Africa, Chenin Blanc…
