Growing up in a catholic family it was taboo to 'touch" alcohol so I never tried the stuff until I was 22 studying at University of Zimbabwe. My first drink was Bohlingers, a pale lager brewed in Zim with a crisp taste and barely any aftertaste.
Making Wine is my Passion and Mission. I created this space to share my experiences and inspirations from which I draw all the craving to create innovative wines you will hopefully enjoy one day. My journey started in Zimbabwe years back and I travelled a path never to be repeated. If time allows I would like to write a book about it. Black White Winemaker is a catch-name I earned working at Nederburg Winery as a white-wine-maker. Today I make red wine at the world famous KWV winery, SA.
Your introduction reminded me of a conversation we had some years ago - at the SA Embassy in Harare- and you revealed your plans to go into wine making! Am glad you followed through - good on you mate!! Many a good story is lost because we don`t write books - Do make time to write your story, you can count on an at least two readers - my daughter and I!! Happy blogging!
