It is with great excitement that Jon Meinking finally announces that he, in partnership with The TOPS at SPAR Wine Show, happening in Cape Town from 14-16 December, will be presenting a #SAwineshowcase theatre at the festival!



The #SAwineshowcase theatre experience will be an intimate experience, of 20 seats (free entrance – unreserved), for all those wanting to expand their wine horizons and learn more about the mysterious world of South African wine.

In every session, Jon will expose the attendees to a variety of different wines (other than the “usual”, ito variety & expression thereof) from diverse wine regions, and from varying vintages. Attendees can expect around 10 white & 10 red wines, with perhaps a couple of surprises thrown in! Each session will last for about 40min. The wines will be presented “blind” so as to allow for as little bias towards varietal, region, farm and price as possible.
Much like his radio program, SA Wine SHOWcase, Jon will endeavour to enlighten the mindset of the traditional wine consumer and hopes they’ll be more open-minded towards other wine varieties, wine regions and other expressions of their usual favourites.

Jon believes that this will not stop people from buying their favourite wine from their favourite farm, but in actual fact, it could well strengthen existing relationships between farm and buyer as other varietals in their favourite farm’s portfolios are tasted, and forge new ones as well their favourite varietals from different regions are discovered!
  

This is a great opportunity for the South African palate to be refreshed and surprised, and hopefully help in demystifying some of the stereotypes that are found in South African society.

As a bonus, Jon will be joined by his radio co-host, and well-respected wine writer, Marthelize Tredoux, for the Friday sessions. Expect some witty banter!
