Wine is likely like beer and caviar and art, each to own taste and as long as one likes it, it is good.

I noticed overtime that, whatever the reputation / taste of any particular red wine, tasted better if after opening and left corked overnight, refrigerated, after dark chocolate or lemon, accompanying hearty food, w/ company, engaged in lively conversation, sometimes better for lunch other times dinner, in or out of doors, definitely before nap or good night.

And glass and half about does it.

In the meantime the two house-guest cats are as adorable as ever and the kids loving them

Re <<wines>>

Before leaving Cape Town we had to partake in another good meal, but as S Africa ramping above #5 in CoVid issue, no alcohol was allowed to be served

I took in Heineken 0.0, and it tasted, as far as I can tell, EXACTLY like the Heineken beer, but without the buzz.

After the meal the Coconut was inspired to exercise, work off the food, and take in the view of the place within which sat the indoor / outdoor restaurant.

ZAR 1,000 for every two people, ~US$ 30 per stomach







I ordered two helpings of oysters in addition to the tappas. The oysters in this country are super.

BTW, S Africa did not run short of toilet paper because the shops dropped the pricing, offering buy a bunch and get some rolls free. Reverse psychology worked well, out of the box.
