Jarvis also has a waterfall that cascades dramatically at the center of the winery and streams through the labrynth of caves into an outdoor pond. The caverns are lit by fiber optic chandeliers. The "theme" of the parabolic arches is carried out in the shapes of the doors, the fixtures, the wall sconces... it's pretty difficult to overlook, especially since the tour guide will mention this fact more than once. The Jarvis winery tour concludes with wine tastings in a formal tasting room, where the five tasting glasses are set in the shape of a parabolic arch, of course!
Since wine can be so personal, it's difficult for me to critique -- besides, "has a lovely currant nose and a blackberry finish" has about as much meaning as "tastes like wine"! Anyhow, Jarvis wines are surrounded with enormous fanfare -- think "Lord of the Rings" meets "Wizard of Oz" meets "Willy Wonka". Yet, Jarvis wines taste marginal at best. I choked when reading over the winery's price list & asked for a second pour of every wine thinking I missed something. But I didn't. If the winery spent as much of its resources producing premium wines, instead of burrowing underground with fiber optic chandeliers, no doubt Jarvis could be a kickass winery. However, Jarvis is far from praiseworthy & consider this warning a public service of sorts.
A bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, brought back from France by my good friend Phil Green, subsequently stored under a tarpaulin in my back garden during a house rebuilding and now rescued and relished on a ridiculously warm 1 November evening.
Now, I don't claim to be any type of wine connoisseur, but this wine tastes like red plastic that's been melted by paint stripper and chlorine.
Maybe I just got a bad bottle, but I don't intend on buying this particular wine ever again.
Finally got the chance to drink a bottle of wine with my family that my parents bought when I was born.
CABERNET SAUVIGNON: La variedad CS también es de las variedades más tardías, sólo que en este caso es Tinta. Normalmente se vendimia a partir del 15-20 Septiembre, es por eso, que apenas ha florecido y se observa un "pequeño atraso" con respecto a otros varietales.

Saint Emilion (en francés, Saint-Émilion) es una pequeña ciudad a 35 km. de Burdeos, Francia, muy conocida por el vino del mismo nombre que se produce en sus alrededores. Administrativamente, Saint Emilion es una comuna del departamento francés de la Gironda en la región de Aquitania, en Occitania.
La historia de Saint Emilion se remonta a los tiempos prehistóricos y es un lugar Patrimonio de la Humanidad, con fascinantes iglesias románicas y ruinas que se dispersan a lo largo de calles estrechas e inclinadas.
Los romanos plantaron viñedos en lo que se convertiría con el tiempo en Saint Emilion ya en el siglo II a. C. En el siglo IV, el poeta latino Ausonio alabó el fruto de la copiosa vid.
La ciudad fue bautizada por el monje Émilion, un confesor viajero, que se estableció en una ermita excavada en la roca aquí en el siglo VIII. Fueron los monjes que lo siguieron quienes comenzaron la producción comercial de vino en la zona.
Saint Emilion es una de las principales zonas de vino tinto de Burdeos junto con Médoc, Graves y Pomerol. La región es mucho más pequeña que el Médoc y queda junto a Pomerol. Como en Pomerol y las otras denominaciones de la orilla derecha de la Gironda, las principales variedades vitíferas usadas son merlot y cabernet franc, usándose también cantidades relativamente pequeñas de cabernet sauvignon en algunos châteaux.
Los vinos de Saint Emilion no se incluyeron en la clasificación de Burdeos de 1855. La primera clasificación formal en Saint Emilion se hizo en 1955. A diferencia de la clasificación de 1855, se revisa con regularidad.
Château Ausone y Château Cheval Blanc son los dos únicos vinos actualmente clasificados como Premiers grands crus classes A. Luego hay 13 Premiers grands crus classés B y 47 grands crus classés. Además, un gran número de viñedos están clasificados como Grand Cru.

ARTISTRY AND EXCEPTIONAL TERROIR
Ampère late harvest, high-elevation wines convey the true expression of the Pine Mountain terroir, our high-elevation farming practices, and the artistry of winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. Our vineyard, located northeast of Cloverdale on the upper western flank of Pine Mountain, sits at an elevation of 2,200 to 2,800 feet and delivers fruit intense in color and flavor.
The Ampère Story
Like any real life story, Ampère wines owe their existence to a convergence of many independent threads. Here, we would like to mention the following two stories, which became intertwined through apparent serendipity and made possible the implausible story of Ampère wines, the stories of Pine Mountain Vineyards proprietor Hien Nguyen and winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown…

Today's BraaiBQ in lovely weather. The Beyerskloof disappointed - too much Pinotage, ot enough Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Merlot guarantees that it it'll be no more than a mediocre wine. Oh well. The beer and food were gooood!
