TASTE TEAM MEMBERS
The Wine Show “Taste Team” are 6 wine lovers drawn from the members of our 
and are all visitors to the Show. They’ve been selected to taste and rate wines from the Show every month as a fun service to all our visitors. Most have no formal wine training, but know what they like and want to tell you all about the goodies!

Pieter de Klerk Pieter’s association with The Wine Show has been a fruitful one. He won a coveted place in The Whole Nine Yards vintage tasting at this years Show (worth R9,000!) and was very persuasive with his Taste Team application. Pieter, 38, is something of a wine fanatic. He completed 2 Cape Wine Academy courses whilst still at varsity (but neglected to mention which degree he attained), has won the Pretoria Wine Taster of the Year Award each time he entered it (twice), Wine magazine has published 3 of his letters, and he co-chairs a local wine club called “The Noble Rotters”. He also appears to be a hit with the ladies. |

Robyn Saul 30 yr old costume and dress-up fan Robyn caught our attention when telling us about her last glass of wine: “Come Hither” beckons the Odd Bins 269, as she drags you, far from unwilling, into her dark velvety boudoir. Who doesn’t want a glass of that! Having all 5 senses (touch, taste, sight, sound and smell) and her own opinion, she was perfectly qualified to join the Taste Team and we’re delighted to have her onboard! Robyn also comes with exciting Karate-Chop Action (Jitsu, actually).

Ellen Crabtree Ellen hails from chilly, but bonnie, Scotland but recently relocated to SA to run a Community Care Centre for people living with HIV in Hillbrow. When not caring for those in need, Ellen cares for good food and wine. Having secured the WSET intermediate and advanced certificates (UK Wine & Spirit Education Trust) with distinction, she went onto win an essay competition for a piece she called "Tasting by numbers". The prize was GBP1,000 to spend on a trip to any wine region of her choice. Ellen chose South Africa... and the rest is history!

Etienne Bester When not building cars in Pretoria North, Etienne photographs, swims, cycles and lollops his way through life. He fell in love with wine after a friend convinced him to attend the Jo'burg wine show by telling him "Here's a ticket. It's free booze. I'm driving". He has been falling ever since. |
