This "members only" event was meant as an informal welcome to several of the South African winemakers to our city of Vancouver where they could relax with fellow wine enthusiasts and enjoy some braai expertly cooked by our past president, and former South African resident, Mr. Lance Berelowitz. This was a grazing type event, with no formal tasting notes being taken. As such we have pictures only to celebrate this occasion. Please take a minute to either relive a wonderful memory, or to find out what you missed. Thanks to everyone that attended and made the winemakers feel at home.

Preparing the Food for the Braai
