Wine fair

Deceptive Dan suggested we hit an all-you-can eat event at Hemingways this weekend.  He later admitted that all-you-can-eat was a sell, because he didn't think I'd go for all-you-can-drink.  Well played Dan.  It was the Taste fair; sort of a Top Billing'esque wine fair, come I sell wine and thus have a stall... event.

I'm about to generalize.  There were people who knew what they were buying, and one or two who knew what they were selling.  However.  There were a lot of people like me, who thought they were coming to an all-you-can-eat.  Not so much in the ate-a-lot vein, rather, I saw a lot of people tending toward the dubious Checkers Rose' stall - which had more in common with Coco's mix-a-drink than a Western Cape vineyard.
Im not interested in wine thats sweeter than Coke.

There's definitely something to the 'cheese and wine' combo, unfortunately there was only one cheese store, and about 10 wine merchants.  Eventually the Simonsberg salesman asked us if we'd ever had cheese before.  Seriously... he asked us that.

Finally, the Boks prevail.  The wine bonanza was gratefully interrupted by a big screen and some un-Top Billing'esque spectating.  The wine merchants true colours flew brightly.
