Teaches WSET in Cape Town & elsewhere. Likes books, cats, funny things, cheese, not always in that order. Weary Practical Only MW student going for the final push next year. Sometimes swears & rants.
Anyway and whatever - your toffee looked delish exactly as you made it :)

I think if it’s broken up into pieces from 1 big sheet, it won’t have choc. Individual pieces might be covered in choc but that would be chocolate-covered toffee, not just toffee. Toffee with nuts in is fine and normal tho. So inconsistent!

We learn, we learn!

What’s with the chocolate though?? Not very English to have it with chocolate

Wine is illogical. Why do we call a liquid 'dry'? Why, when we add sugar too a sherry, do we refer to it as a dairy product? Why isn't Barbaresco made from Barbera?? These things are not helpful!!

re number 4 - don't forget to confuse your listeners even further by throwing in left bank grand cru classe as well. My least favourite conversation on WSET level 2. Poor things.

Be safe Robert. And tell your friends there are people around the world cheering them on

Without being priggish there is also a v serious safety issue here. If people lie on the labels and wines are drunk in the belief they are lower abv than they are, there is a huge possibility of accidents & harm

Hugely respected for everything she’s done for South Africa, South Africans and South African wine. Absolute legend.

And you know that it's being made in the UK now as well - as a red wine, not as a bubbly.......

Here we go - some of my top Pinotages - Beeslaar, Ashbourne by Hamilton Russell, Beaumont, B Vintners Liberte, Kanonkop. Sure @angelalloyd.bsky.social can add a few more. Also consider Cape Blends from Beyerskloof, Kanonkop, Beaumont. @vinosity.bsky.social

I was thinking along the lines of lipstick on a pig? But even without pearls, it's a cute cat so that wasn't quite working!
