Second Garden Route GeekDinner

Image: Garden Route Geek Dinner Logo

I have to second Stii here that I also feel like crap for not blogging earlier. The fact is however that I am about 3 months behind with blogging. I just wish I had more time!

Anyway, the Garden Route GeekDinner July 2007 was held with great success at Duttons Cove in Herolds Bay just outside of George.

Many thanks go out to Stii and Bev for organising this and especially to Graham Knox and Chris Rawlinson of Stormhoek that came out all the way to the Garden Route to sponsor some top-notch wine. Stii actually has some bottles left so contact him, before it's too late!

We had the opportunity to hear the now-famous Stormhoek Story, first-hand from Graham. Absolutely amazing to hear how Stormhoek built up an empire by using the Internet, and more specifically Blogging, as their marketing effort.

The setting at Duttons was beautiful and the atmosphere inside the restaurant equally great. The Shiraz and the (heavily underrated in South Africa) Pinot Grigio were amazing. They call the Shiraz "The Assassin", and for good reason! It's a real killer, just like it says on the back!

Also check out all the photos Tresblue took if you like to see. On one picture my mom looked really bored but this was entirely not the case, she was just reading on the back of one of the wine bottles. :)

And just another note of respect to Jayx for all the great logos I'm using on these posts!
