There is a very nice video of the Cabriére Sabrage on the Simon and Baker Travel Review site. You’ll see that in this video the person in charge of this specific display of sabrage is non other that Hildegard von Arnim (Takuan’s mother).

So if you’d like to see how Sabrage is really done, and find out about some of the history surrounding it, pay the Simon and Baker Travel Review site a visit.

It’s shocking to think that Christmas is just around the corner. 2009 has disappeared in the blink of an eye and, once again, it’s time to start hunting for those perfect Christmas presents.

At Haute Cabriere we’ve decided to make your life a whole lot easier. Yes we’re just lovely that way.

For the wine lover we have our Haute Cabriere gift packs that are made up of one amazing carry case and two bottles of Pierre Jourdan cap classique or two bottles of Haute Cabriere wine.

So this holiday season give your loved ones the gift that’s going to earn you maximum brownie points, give them two bottles of Pierre Jourdan or Haute Cabriere.  Because nothing says I love you quite like something from Cabriere.

If you’ve ever visited the Cabriere Tasting Room, the Haute Cabriere Restaurant and our underground cellar you’ll know that getting in and out (because it makes use of the same road) can be quite tricky; especially when it’s busy. If you haven’t yet been to Cabriere then you’d better have an amazing excuse. Something involving ninjas!

To deal with the congestion we’ve built a ring road. So now you drive in, park, taste all our Pierre Jourdan Cap Classiques and Haute Cabriere wines, buy at least a case, have some lunch (or dinner), hop back into your car and drive around the cellar. Exciting stuff!

It’s a lot like being wine, only with no animals and lots of wine. So really it’s nothing like being on safari.

We’re still bottling. This month - August - is set to be something amazing. The sheer quantity of Pierre Jourdan Cap Classique is mind-blowing. Which actually, now that I think about it, should delight you. Because it means that there will be a little more of your favourite Franschhoek Cap Classique.

I think I’ll open a bottle of Pierre Jourdan now. Yes! It’s after lunch and I work on a wine farm - so that’s totally acceptable behaviour.

I often get asked if there is a Cap Classique out there that can help men in their quest to woo the woman of their dreams. Luckily for these guys I know all about wooing and Cap Classique. Today’s clip is all about that - how to use Pierre Jourdan to successfully land the girl of your dreams.

This really is your lucky day. Don’t forget to take notes.
