I usually like to drink white wine, but do occasionally drink red or rose. During the summer I particullay like to have a glass or two of rose especially on a warm evening sitting outside. I am also interested in trying out new wines and so it was that I spotted a rose that I hadn?t sampled before. The wine I?m talking about is FirstCapes South African rose.

My mum and I went out to South Africa to visit relatives, my Nan (Mum?s mum) my Auntie and her husband and three children (Whom I have never met before) and my Granddad?s brother (My Mum?s uncle) and his family.
