Wine tasting in Franchoek

No trip to Cape Town would feel complete without some wine tasting in Franchoek - to supplement the tasting we do at home. I refuse to "spit out" but shared the tasting with Winnie, which reduced my consumption, but not enough to avoid a later headache. Mind you Nicky also got a headache and she didn't do much tasting, so maybe the events are unconnected after all.

La Motte - which has the best wines
We visited La Motte, Stony Brook, Chamonix and Haut Cabriere, of which La Motte was the best and Haut Cabriere the most lethal because of the preponderance of champagne. Winnie left her wine book there, which gives you some idea.

The champagne at Haut Cabrier
I never buy expensive wines so the tasting was a real experience, plus there were some real bargains to be had.

The sole at Dieu Donne

Lunch at Dieu Donne lived up to the standard of the wine, and the magnificent setting. Nicky and Winie had Salmon Trout and I had the sole - all 5 star, and followed by 5 star deserts. You would think after all this that we would retire home with our headaches to an early night with no supper. Instead we met Erline and Colleen for a pizza supper at "Toad" in Noordhoek.
