Great South African choices. I tasted the 2008 Hamilton Russell Chardonnay with Anthony Hamilton Russell a month ago and reckon it's one of their best yet. Jean Daneel's Signature Chenin is one of the country's top 3 Chenins and the Vilafonte Series M and C always deliver quality reds from Merlot and Cabernet. If you like Vilafonte try De Torens Fusion V which is of similar quality. Tim Hi Sarah

Firstly keep up the good work in 2010 and I wish you a happy, healthy and fun filled year ahead. Great South African choices. I tasted the 2008 Hamilton Russell Chardonnay with Anthony Hamilton Russell a month ago and reckon it’s one of their best yet. Jean Daneel’s Signature Chenin is one of the country’s top 3 Chenins and the Vilafonte Series M and C always deliver quality reds from Merlot and Cabernet.

For reds, I would go for the Luis Pato Barrosa for trad turkey roast or the Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier if you´re going for down the cranberry sauce route. And since I´m at Porto airport, don`t forget to pass the port at some stage!!!!!
