Hello Andre
Altyd feestyd by
Hermanuspietersfontein
We’re perennially festive and don’t need an excuse for a
feast …
Celebrate
our 4th birthday:4th September
 We’re
looking to have more fun than usual, starting right now! You can get
yourself a mixed case selection of our wines at lekker prices to enjoy
a different wine with a different meal every day. In fact, get a mixed
selection of 11 wines and we'll throw in a bottle of Bartho Eksteen
Shiraz '02 with our compliments What are friends for if we can't share
a bottle of wine? Enjoy ... Pick and choose and mail your order to Adele.
Die
Bartho 2009 Platter 5 Ster kandidaat
 Terwyl
ons in spanning wag, bewys jouself ‘n groot guns en koop nou 'n
kissie of twee want minder as 4.5 Sterre kan dit nie gaan nie. Die
volgende oesjaar, Bartho 2010, word eers in 2012 vrygestel. Hou saam
met ons duimvas met die een hand en met die ander slaan jy jou slag! Onthou,
wie laaste lag …
Soweto Wine Festival 2 - 4
September
 It’s
not only rugbyandsoccer junkies that are hot to trot in Soweto – this
is one wine festival you don’t want to miss! Here we're all on
the same side - sophisticated and ready to make this the Best Wine Fest
in the West. Last year we had a great time here. So why don't you go to
your Facebook
page, make a date to meet up with a bunch of wine loving friends, post
your pics and could carry on carry on feasting in Jo'burg* ...
4 Tickets to Taste of
Jo'burg*
 Serial
fees junkies of the world unite! Ideale geleentheid vir al ons kos en
wyn avontuurlustige vriende om bymekaar te kom en te "proe
proe". Ons stel al Josie se beste restourante op die proef en pas
kosse saam met wyne. Ag, moenie worry oor die dieet en kalorieë nie!
Onthou elke nuwe week begin met Maandag. Om ons verjaardag feesgees aan
die kook te hou, maak nog ‘n date met pêlle op facebook.
Daar's geen goeie verskoning om nie die fees by te woon nie!
The Ducktails are
feasting on escargot!
 Meanwhile,
on our farm the Ducktails are noshing snails like there’s no tomorrow.
The ducks are part and parcel of our terrific terroir story. Swartskaap
is still the best Cabernet Franc in the Walker Bay Cape Agulhas
District and both Nr.5
and Bloos
derive 100% from our farm in Sondagskloof! If you’re looking for true
terroir wines, you’ve just found them. This is as good as it gets.
Snails and a chilled glass of Nr.5 anybody?
Wines of Hermanus Wine
Festival
 Don’t
forget to remember: 24 – 27 September is Whale
Festival in Hermanus and on the Saturday we’re hosting another Wine
Festival with 26 estates presenting over 120 wines on taste in our
cellar’s courtyard. It’s going to be a beeeg one, so make sure to
diarize 26.9.10 for a Whale of a Wine Festival. Tell you what:
to make sure you get a ticket, call Ilse-Marie at 028 316 1875. Have
a look at who's been here before.
Celebrate our 2010 Sauvignon Blancs
 Hip,
hip, hooray! Nr.3 and Nr.7 are on their way! To say the 2010 harvest
was nerve-wracking is an understatement. However, Bartho and Kim did what
they do best: focus on making remarkable wines! As usual, our Sauvignon
Blancs will prove to be worth the wait! Charming Adéle is ready to
process your orders. Call her at 028 316 1875 or email her to make up your order
to be despatched as soon as the new vintages are released.
Moet Sauvignon blanc in
jaar van oes gedrink word? Dis sommer 'n bogstorie!
 Ons
verbreek hierdie mite vir eens en vir altyd. Net om te wys hoe
ons witwyne oor tyd verbeter, maak ons nou “vertikale kissies”
beskikbaar, bestaande uit 2 elk ’07, ’08 en ’09 van ons verouderde Nr.3
en Nr.7. Dis 'n feit: al ons witwyne het goeie verouderingsvermoe
en kan tot 5 jaar na die oesjaar geniet word, met die
veronderstelling dat die wyne onder ideale omstandighede geberg word.
Dis nou uithaal-en-wys-tyd. Bestel
sommer hier!
‘n Fees sonder Kleinboet?
 Nooit,
ek sê! Ons trek naby die onderste laag van die laaste Kleinboet '07
palet, maar moenie worry nie, ’08 lê al lankal in die bottel en wag vir
die dag! Om ‘n vertikale voorraad van Kleinboet op te bou, skakel
Adéle en vra haar mooi, pretty pretty please, om ‘n kissie
’07 te organiseer. Om jou eie Kleinboet Fees te beplan – kliek
hierso en bel ‘n hele spul pêlle en kry hulle om hulle pêlle ook te
nooi en … Enjoy!
A brooch, a homecoming and a curryfest
 Pierre
was very excited when his Mom handed over a family heirloom: a brooch
which his great grandfather carved from bone whilst a POW in Ceylon,
today known as Sri Lanka. In memory of his Grandad they hosted a lunch
for close friends. The fare? A feast of wonderful curries, Sri Lankan
and Indian in origin with a touch of Malaysian. For a story and a
recipe that goes well with Posmeester

Foundation
 Preparations
are under way for the annual Hermanus Flower and Eco Fair. This
festival of wild flowers and sustainable lifestyle is one of the
highlights on the Hermanus spring calendar and is presented jointly by
the OCF and the Hermanus BotanicalSoc. Breath-taking floral displays,
designed by Chelsea award winner David Davidson, showcase the floral
biodiversity of the area. Hundreds of named specimens will assist
botanical enthusiasts to put a name to a floral face. As Walker Bay's BWI

DEKAT word 25 en ons vier weer fees!

nie aldag dat 'n tydskrif van DEKAT se statuur 'n kelder nooi om
gasheer van hul 25ste paartie te wees nie! In egte, regte
Hermanuspietersfontein staail gooi ons die 1ste September lekker
mielies in die vatkelder. Die eregaste vir die aand? 25 van Suid-
Afrika se voorste kunstenaars wat in die Overbergstreek woon. Die jol
word 11 September om 18h30 op TV3 uitgesaai. Natuurlik 'n groot storie
in die Desember uitgawe en op ons eie website. Wish you could be
here!
