Bumper giveaway with July Wine
Wine magazine is including a copy of the 2009 edition of Icons: South Africa's Wines Reviewed, valued at R99.95, with its July issue, the magazine announced earlier this week. The 168-page guide is a comprehensive record of the results of the Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show. The judging panel, of three international and six local wine-tasting experts, met in May to assess and rate a record 1156 wines to determine worthy medal winners. Icons is the culmination of their deliberations, containing a full list of winners, as well as articles by the international judges and show chairman, profiles of the top wines, a directory of the winning wineries, and vintage reviews. The guide is published by Wine magazine, co-convenor of the Trophy Wine Show, together with wine authority Michael Fridjhon.
