MANUKA NEWSLETTER – January 2014
Hi all,
Happy New Year to all our customers! We hope that this new year is full of all things good!
AT MANUKA THIS HOLIDAY:
What a roaring success our waterslide has been this holiday! This year were hoping to install a water feature for the kids to enjoy on a permanent basis….watch this space
Thank you for all your support over the festive season. What an amazing vibe we’ve had at Manuka! We look forward to seeing you all here many, many times in 2014!
Manuka Mini Bubbly Festival
I posted on Facebook that we will be having a bubbly festival on the 8th of Feb, but with so many estates being closed over the Christmas season it’s been difficult to organize and February is almost upon us. I will reschedule for a date in March and will let you know all the details soon.
WINES
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT MANUKA WINE SHOP IS OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK INCLUDING EVERY SUNDAY FROM 9AM – 3PM
After the total chaos of the past few months and my terrible lack of organization (please note – that is not normal for me…well, the chaos part is!), I’m now back on track with the wines of the week! We will have two wines to taste every Saturday and those wines will be our wines of the week for the entire week, which we will sell by the glass in the restaurant and where possible, we will offer discounts on the wines.
Our wines of the week for the rest of January are:
17 – 23 Jan: Delaire Graff (Sauvignon Blanc & Shiraz)
24 Jan – 30 Jan : Thelema (Mountain Red & Sutherland Sauvignon Blanc)
MEET THE WINEMAKER DINNER
We had another wonderfully successful MEET THE WINEMAKER DINNER on Wednesday the 27th of November with Cellermaster Johan Joubert from Kleine Zalze. A wonderful presentation of different soils and the difference between the Chenin blancs grown in them had our guests enthralled. Fantastic wines and overall a really wonderful evening.
Our next MEET THE WINEMAKER DINNER is with Bruwer Raats from Raats Family Wines on 29th January. View the event details here..
Raats specializes in making world class Chenin Blanc & Cabernet Franc and we’ll have a Bordeaux blend in there too. During a recent tasting in the United Kingdom, renowned wine writer Matthew Jukes declared that Bruwer Raats’ 2011 Old Vine Chenin is one of the greatest and most reliable Chenin in the world! The Menu is attached.
I’m very excited about this one…please book early to avoid disappointment…
Please note that on this particular dinner, the price of the dinner is slightly higher than normal due to the fact that all 5 wines on offer are premium wines. An absolute treat for wine lovers! Hope to see you there.
