Withoek Women Wine Wednesday

At my cellar we have as an assistant a woman who worked for my father for more than ten years. Now I am on the farm for almost three years and she still works for me. Leanne April is a born and bred Calitzdorper and her dad used to be a taxi driver for the Bergsig as well some of the Schools in the region. She was also invited to do a harvest (making wine in Virginia in the United States) at Afton Mountain. This was done in 2006 for 2 months. She enjoyed it and came back more interested and hungry for knowledge about the wine making process.
Leanne is planning a Women Wine Wednesday. As you know August is the month to celebrate womanhood all over the country and so does Withoek want to honour them. We are planning the 18th of August a womans night where for a certain fee we will provide a snack, wine tasting and a bit of socializing afterwards for the women of Calitzdorp (I am also not invited because of the natural physical disability). Further there is also a theme: Purple for the red wine. This is an event will take place at 6 o'clock the evening at the Withoek tasting room and promise to be a lot of fun. This will also be the launch of our first single cultivar dry red wine the Withoek Shiraz 2009.
We hope that you guys will show up in numbers and do contact Leanne for an invitation to the event at 044 2133639. You can also email us at withoek@telkomsa.net for more info.
