We held a tasting party for " Cape Winemakers Guild (CWG) 2004 in Japan " at Hotel Sunport Yokohama. CWG are organized by the top winemakers in South Africa. They choose their top 30 around wines by their blind tasting for the auction. Our Cave de Re-Lax has been in charged of the agent of the auction in Japan for four years. We received a lot of attendance all day long. The attendance was surprised at the outstanding quality of the auction wines. We had almost 150 people for the event and got a lot of bits for the auction.
Thank you very much.
After the tasting party, we held a South-African wine dinner party. There were 70 wine lovers at the party room.
Every body enjoyed that Mr. Jose Conde, the special guest, owner & winemaker of Conde Wines, talked about a lot of topics for South African wine and the comment for each wine we drank.
The wines were wonderful !

I confirmed that drinking wine with very nice cuisines was far better than
only wine tasting !
