Knowing the wine and meeting the winemaker, Riana van der Merwe, regularly at wine tastings and shows, it was time to have a real good old fashioned "potjiekos" evening with her and owners, Tim and Vaughan Pearson.
The date was on for Friday the 13th at 18H00. So I had to start prepping early yesterday morning to get everything ready!
On the menu :
Yellow tale Patè and homemade bread. With 7Springs Chardonnay.
Venison Potjie with "krummel-" and "stywe-pap". (Translated by the guests as crumbly porridge and sticky porridge.) With 7Springs Shiraz
Malva pudding with Ideal froth and vanilla ice cream.
Cheese and biscuits, coffee and finished the evening with a great pot still Brandy from Barry & Nephew (Barrydale).
