Day 86: Winetasting

Saturday, March 13th, 2010


Day 86: Winetasting, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.

One of my favourite wine shops was having a wine-tasting and a huge sale today. So we went along to stock up on wine.

As you can see in the picture, many of the wines are unlabeled, or with just basic labeling. This is not because of quality, they are all suburb wines, but often end of runs or left over export wines.

Having made wine on one of our wine farms, I can assure you that often the farms have to literally dump wine to make space for new bottling, and they will sell them for anything to get rid of them. But they don’t want their own labels on it because it undercuts the retail value of the wine.

You can check them out yourself if you like – www.getwine.co.za. I have often ordered online from them, and they are fast with their delivery. I have never had a bad wine from them.

I have been missing avocado, and it is so good to see them slowly starting
to come back into season. So, an avocado sandwiche for lunch today.

One of my favourite meals, the Kalk Bay platter from the Cape Town Fish
Market, a great restaurant. The platter contained, fish, calamari, prawns
and mussels. A large meal, but it is so good. They also do great sushi. By
the way if you are vegetarian, I would not rush there too fast…Here is
their website – www.ctfm.co.za.

This is something that I very seldom do, have a steak for dinner. I am not a
big red meat eater, but when I do, boy I enjoy it!

The Mineola is a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit. However, it
tastes like an orange. Very sweet and yummy. They are especially easy to
peal.

Day 55: Glass of chardonnay, originally uploaded by Craig Strachan.

Glass of Vergelegen Chardonnay, being enjoyed at a dinner at the Erinvale Golf Course. The venue is fantastic, and if you can get hold of some of the Vergelegen wine, you will not regret it. The wine is truly superb.

Lunch!

Lunch!, originally uploaded by Craig Strachan.

This was what I had for lunch on Saturday, croissant dough made into a bread, with sliced organic cured beef. It was really tasty, but with the amount of butter in the bread, there is no way that you can even pretend that it is healty.

Day 51 Pastry (outtake), originally uploaded by Craig Strachan.

Earth Fair food market. I had great fun walking around the market taking photos of all the yummy food.

This was going to be my picture for day 51, but I drove past a quite a big fire, so my action photos of the fire took precedence. Good think I had my camera with me :-)

Day 50: Onions for sale, originally uploaded by Craig Strachan.

Onions for sale on the side of the road. I tried to make the photo B&W with
a little colour on the actual bags of onions. How do you think that it came
out?

Today is my first milestone; 50 days into my project of a photo per day.

By the way, R25 for the onions is about $3, cheap even for local prices!
