Our friend Richard wrote us that that he was impressed with a Hill & Dale Pinotage 2003 from South Africa. His notes are: “Earthy, oaky, and really distinctive.”
Richard spotted that The Boston Globe listed this wine as a best value from around the world at under $10. We haven’t tasted it but we will definitely be on the lookout for it.

If you see it, do grab it. The Hill & Dale 2003 was a runner up in the Pinotage Top 10 Competition of 2004. Hill & Dale is the second label of the prestigious Stellenzicht Estate, and it is the same winemaker Guy Webber, and 2003 was a good vintage. Unfortunately the 2003 Hill & Dales all sold out very quickly in my area

I agree. The Hill and Dale Pinotage is fantastic. We had it while on vacation in Hilton Head. It instantly became one of my favorite wines! I give it two thumbs up.
Happy Holidays

Amy – What a great combination — a delicious bottle of wine WHILE vacationing in Hilton Head! Sounds perfect! We have not been able to find this wine. We will keep looking.
