You know it is a good day in Cape Town when it starts with a visit to your very first winery, in this case local establishment Cape Point Vineyards, followed by a drive across the spectacular national monument, Chapmans Peak Drive, to end up a an old family tradition for calamari - Chapmans Peak Hotel.
In the morning, Luka oversaw a tasting for grandma and grandpa of the lovely lightly oaked Chardonnays, and Sauvignon Blancs with hints of local fynbos in the terroir accompanied by a fabulous cheese plate. Of course Master Luka had his own requirements before we could depart, resulting in what we like to refer to as le tailegate change.
A late lunch was enjoyed at an institution that the Marx family has frequented for at least twenty years. There might be better calamari somewhere in the world, but in all our travels, we have not found it yet - and definitely not with the combined ambiance and view to boot. It seems only fitting that Luka should find himself camped out on the deck while we feast on their famous grilled calamari, Portuguese steak topped off with a Groote Post Old Man's Blend.
