Another hilarious wine column from Robin von Holdt, CEO of the Top 100 SA Wine Challenge, as FinWeek styles him. A glass of Pepsin [sic] Condé Sauvignon Blanc 2010, a mythical wine redolent of “hints of gooseberry, green melon and then a snatch of tropical fruit. The promise is alluring.” Although dealing with an alluring snatch in your glass at 11am on a Sunday morning must have been quite a challenge. Sic, indeed!

Full of insights after the judging of wines submitted to his competition, Robin lets slips a few insider secrets: “Chardonnay is bigger and fatter in character than a Sauvignon Blanc or a Chain [sic, again] Blanc.” Could that be a Pepsin Chain Blanc, perchance? You can’t invent this material! Robin, you’re on a roll, adding a dose of well-needed hilarity to the SA wine scene.
