\"WhaleTales\"<\/a>Tourism, Food, and Wine news headlines<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

* \u00a0 SAA is pursuing a new procurement policy<\/strong><\/span><\/a> of aircraft parts, services, and supplies from ‘Black industrialists’. \u00a0<\/em>A funding pool is to be established, to help such industrialists to set up their businesses.<\/p>\n

* \u00a0 All passengers travelling with children,<\/strong><\/span><\/a> arriving in or departing from one of our country’s airports, are subject to the new Immigration Regulations from 1 June onwards. \u00a0This applies to South Africans too, and not just to tourists!<\/p>\n

* \u00a0 The Twelve Apostles’ Azure restaurant will pair with Morgenster Wine & Olive Estate on Friday 29 May, Chef Christo Pretorius creating a 4-course gourmet dinner, with wines selected by Morgenster winemaker Henry Kotze. Cost R300. (received via media release from FIVESTAR PR)<\/p>\n

\u00a0* \u00a0 Nederburg is offering a special combination pack of its four Winemasters’ Reserve wines (Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Pinotage, Merlot) for R300, with two complimentary Le Creuset stoneware ramekins. \u00a0Blogger Thuli Gogela has developed a number of recipes for dishes to be paired with the four wines, four recipe cards inserted in each wine pack. (received via media release from De Kock Communications)<\/div>\n

* \u00a0 Hamilton Russell Vineyards is now represented in the UK by Mentzendorff,<\/strong><\/span><\/a> which led Anthony Hamilton-Russell to proclaim that ‘South Africa has finally become the place to cherry pick fine wines at the top end that represent exceptional value for money, which you can\u2019t find in California or New Zealand. \u00a0We\u2019re not trying to make Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, we\u2019re trying to create the best expression of Hamilton Russell, which happens to be through Chardonnay and Pinot<\/em>‘. \u00a0About his relationship with the new importer he said: ‘You don\u2019t make wine to make money. We don\u2019t want to sell more wines, we want to sell wine better. Mentzendorff is the perfect fit for us. Selling our wines through them is like putting our children up for adoption’.<\/em><\/div>\n
