Q – what’s red, alcoholic, South African and featured on this blog tomorrow?
A – It’s Wine Blogging Wednesday, featuring my chosen theme of South African reds!
If you haven’t bought a bottle yet, check out my buying tips here and then dash out to your local wine merchant and get shopping! Then dash home and get drinking, eating and writing.
I had my bottle on Sunday night and it was a goodie! Look forward to sharing it with all of you and hearing what everyone else drank.

Wine Blogging Wednesday #6
Wine Blogging Wednesday #6 presented a slight dilemma for me. With the theme set by Cook Sister! as “South African Reds”, how was I to keep my Australian theme going and still participate? It was obvious in the end, purchase a bottle of …
Hi Andrew – glad you liked the theme! And according to your post you found a real winner of a wine – must get me a bottle of that! Thanks for taking part & look out for the roundup towards the end of the week.

Hi Jeanne!
I posted a trackback but for some reason my contact info didn’t come across so I’m leaving a comment, too. Thanks for your great background info on SA wines and for getting me out to try something new!

Is it possible that Lenn forgot about his own brainchild?
Seems like everyone has found good bottles thus far…which is a WBW first!
Nope…I’ll be drinking mine tonight…I’ll let you know

My first South African wine tasting. I learned a lot!
WBW #6: South African Reds
Bordeaux people are from Mars; balanced, scientific, rational people. Burgundy people, on the other hand, are artistic, tempermental, Venusian prima-donnas.
Hi Brenda, Moira, Sam, Derrick, Fatemeh, Jens and Alice!
Thank you all so much for joining in – and I’m thrilled to see that pretty much all of your tastings were successful – hurrah! Some nice wines in there that I haven’t yet tried but will certainly look out for in the future.
I’m working on the roundup as we speak – will wait till tonight to catch any stragglers (Lenn, oh creator of all that is WBW, this includes you!;-)), so it should be up tomorrow.
Thanks again for playing along,
Jeanne
