Pinotage & “little John”

I challenge you... Claret at twent paces... if you have the 'lafite' for it!... or should we just  

In the Movie with Errol Flynn “Robin Hood”… Robin is knocked off a log by ‘little John’ with the aid of a staff… after some consolation, Robin says,” I love a man who can best me!” Words to live by.

In an earlier post, I wrote on the virtues of “Bobotie” a South African dish of Cape-Malay origin… delicious! I presented it with a Kanonkop wine… just not the recommended one and I got caught! ouch!

To be fair, I had never thought of Pinotage… it had never been in my list of highly desired varieties… but sometimes, we all need ‘grapeness’ thrust apon us… and this peeked my curious mind.

It give me the opportunity to explore my “little John’s” site called  “Pinotage.Org”  … which I have found interesting and helpful … so much so, I decided to buy his book entitled  “Marlyn Merlot and the Naked Grape”  … I just ordered it off of his site… should be a fun read.

In life, we all need our ‘little John’s’,
