WBW#6 – Beyerskloof Synergy 2001

February 16, 2005

When I chose this month’s theme for WBW there was never really much doubt as to whether I would have a South African theme – I mean, hello, I’m South African and as far as I’m aware, the only South African blogger taking part in WBW.  So if I’m not going to suggest SA wines, [...]

Enough already with the food, put on some music
