THE definitive wine event. Bring out 'sophisticated Seth'.
[permalink]

It's amazing how romantic I become about classy and/or regal things, places and events. I look at my last fortnight ("fortnight" - amazing word of the day) overseas purchases which indicate a moment where I got all romantic and classy. Not only did I buy sex-bomb lingerie from Ann Summers in London, but also a book from Ralph Lauren in New York called "Royal Holidays". The book breaks down a number of the past various royal families' holidays all over the World. I mean really! I saw it and thought, "Shit, that looks awesome, I'd like to become well versed in where King God-knows-who preferred to holiday". What was I thinking? Anyway, it looks good on the coffee table and is a far cry from the Ann Summers collection - demonstrating how diverse Seth is.

So that's what happened today. I was forwarded info about the 'Winemaker's Choice Diamond Awards' next Tuesday night(27 September). Now, as you know, I am forewarded all sorts of crap all day long. Events and places and things go through a helluva a tight screening process before I decide that you, my adoring readers, should be given the information. Only the best will do. It's all about you. I put that in 'bold type', because I mean it.

From what I gather it is the difinitive Wine awards evening and apparently the only award show in South Africa judged exclusively by (the finest) winemakers. This "would result in the most accurate and unbiased assessment of over 600 South African wines".

Well, I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that it's about time they sorted out this country's wine judging system, of which I have absolutely zero knowledge! But look, I'm sure this new angle appeals to a number of you wine lovers out there.

Getting boozed on fine wines was the main appeal for me. I reached for my wallet and bought two tickets. But let me tell you what else is in store for me at this, what can only be described as, glittering event:

Guests will be welcomed outside the venue, over looking the vineyards and the Simonsberg mountain, with a glass of our winning Cap Classique, one of the finest in South Africa. Nestled at the bottom of each glass will be a diamond-resembling crystal. One lucky guest will, however, find a brilliant 0.5 carat diamond, valued at R15000, which they will keep for their enjoyment and use!

The main area will be draped in white and burgundy strips merging the sophisticated images of flawless diamonds and awesome deep red wine! Beautiful girls, elegantly dressed and frosted in diamond jewelry will welcome each guest personally (we like this part).

Guests will all be treated to a fantastic bar display and will enjoy the experience of drinking “blind” for the first 3 hours of the night by consuming the winning wines without knowledge of who or where they are from. This will add to the enjoyment of the awards revealing which guests may then match to their personal favourites from the evening. Guests will also be treated to drinking the finest whiskeys with South Africa’s top wine selection! Make it a double Jammies.

Cape Town MC and funnyman, David Newton, who will host the event and maintain hysterics all night, will welcome the guests and introduce the first fantastic performer, Cabaret and Piano Star, Sarah Theron. Thereafter, the winning wines, will be acknowledged and presented with their fully-deserved award. A Graffiti artist will also amaze with wall art which will culminate in a graffiti style revealing of the 2 trophy awards for the best red and white wine of the competition! Finally, the evening will run its course under the control of entertaining band, Sans of Time as whiskeys, coffees, cigars (aah) and a chocolate fountain are offered! Yes, they said a 'chocolate fountain'.

This event has been designed to create an experience for everyone to enjoy. It’s not just an awards show; it’s an event to celebrate the quality wines as selected by South Africa’s top winemakers and provide an opportunity for guests to party with the winemakers and enjoy their wines!

I can't say anymore. But I MUST impart knowledge of fine events to the loyal 2oceansvibe readers, for they are my everything. But wait, I have done even more homework for you! To help you further, I can show you how to pretend you belong at this orgasm of class and elegance. (I believe they still have tickets available).
