Real Wine Speak for Real People at Kingsriver Estate
If you find ''wine speak'' at best confusing, at worst irrelevant or pretentious, but still want to learn more about South African wines and what food to pair your wine with, you need to head for McGregor this weekend.

 

 

Kingsriver Estate Invites you

to an evening of wine, wisdom & a whole  lot of fun with

Katinka van niekerk

the doyenne of food & wine pairings

 

SATURDAY 30th MAY 09

 

Did you know

a Pinotage is a "fishnet-stockinged slut"

or that

a Sauvignon Blanc is "always on the edge of a nervous breakdown"?

 

Katinka Van Niekerk, who has been teaching at the Cape Wine Academy since 1997
and training chefs, wine retailers and exporters/importers in wine and food pairing,
has lectured in Germany and presented South African wines in France,
for the Slow Food International organisation.

 

She knocks the stuffiness out of wine and food pairing
and shows that to enjoy both to maximum effect, you don’t have to necessarily follow
boring old rules to achieve an ideal balance between wine and food.
Learn the five taste sensations (sweetness, acidity, saltiness, bitterness and umami)
that change the taste of a wine and create combinations that work.

 

Entertaining and educational,

 

You can''t call it madness because it works like magic.
