Hart House - Deer Lake Park - Wines of South Africa















Here's Huub with cousins Cynthia and Steve and Naas Erasmus of Tukulu Wines at the 6th Annual Wines of South Africa Cape Coastal Luncheon at Hart House Retaurant overlooking beautiful Deer Lake, a highlight of the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival.

Five South African wineries were featured Alto, Boekenhoutskloof, Bellingham, Nederburg and Tukulu.

Lunch was amazing- grilled ostrich, watermelon wild boar proscuitto, carpaccio of smoked venison and dry aged bison strip loin.

The High Commissioner for South Africa and others spoke about how South Africa will be in the spotlight this summer as the host of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Hard to pic a fav but I'd go with Nederburg's Reserve Chenin Blanc.
