For @Jancis_Robinson I reported on the catastrophic floods that happened two weeks ago and how it has affected the South African wine industry - and how you can help. jancisrobinson.com/articles/…

Two weeks have passed since a destructive storm affected a large part of the Western Cape. Fortunately, in Elgin, all vineyards have been spared. Here are a couple of images showing the power of the water, especially on the mountain, viewed from afar, from the top, and up close.

When it is cold out.. and it is very, very cold here in Elgin. @LaBrune_SA's winemaker Nico Grobler dreams of summer by sipping on his Valley Pinot Noir Rosé. #elginmagic #elgin #southafrica #coolclimate #CoolClimateWines
