Picnic a bit of an oversell! Wine OK.
Best Grappa in SA, without a doubt. Possibly not the most exuberant and passionate distiller lately. But he used to be…
Tried their new cocktails on the Saturday the 21st of November, simply awesome; had the Avontuur Mojito with mint, lime, rose petal infusion and a dollop of the lightly wooded Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blend. The Bellini-tini with Avontuur Sauvignon Blanc and white peach puree. And the Vanilla and Berry Martini with Klein Avontuur unwooded red. Very original, and incredibly more-ish!
Although I went again to stock up on wine supplies yesterday and make use of all their wine specials, the restaurant is now open and I need to create a gap to go and road test the restaurant properly!
Had Tapas & wine there yesterday. Wasn’t too impressed with their wines, but the setting and food is great. Shame that you almost need a Phd to order food, as everything seems an exception instead of the norm. The welcome was rather cold. You would think that arriving at 5:30pm, i.e. half an hour after their taps special started, you would be welcomed to a table etc. Staff tried looking the other way, and felt that I had to request their attention. Tapas is also meant for exactly 4 people, no less, no more. Weird as you would have expected a two person platter to be more marketable. Anyway, thanks to the grace of the Chef, we were allowed to order it for two. In short: great place, but a lit more animo & marketability would do great here. I will coming back for a lunch and a dinner to experience it fully, hopefully it will be better!
Great lunch place! Need to return for wine tasting but the glass of Sauv Blanc ’09 was already a very pleasant start!
