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/flood…

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.

Spring in Elgin also means, Elgin Open Garden Route, open over 2 weekends, so head to the Elgin wine Valley on 28,29 Oct. and 4,5 of Nov. A couple of our wineries have opened their beautiful garden. Perfect opportunity to also visit their tasting room. Info @elginopengardensza
