SPARKLING WINE, ROSE: NV(non vintage) Marguet Champagne Grand Rose Brut (Champagne, France) R385 (RM169)
-fine and persistent mousse (bubbles) initially easily overflowing glass. sweet apple notes & other complex stuff on nose that follows into palate make this an outstanding champagne, easily enjoyed by all but wine snobs (a class of people who only drink expensive wines because they think they are better but usually cant tell the difference if their lives depended on it).

2004 Danie de Wet Naissance Cabernet Sauvignon (Robertson, S.Africa) R70 (RM31)
-the chardonnay master making serious reds? had to taste this!!
-drinking juicily straight out of the glass, this wine quickly evolves into a deep and classy cabernet sauvignon, brooding its way through my palate. Good complexity with some layering of flavours. Decent length ,judiciuous use of oak. mmmmmmmmmm.......
