Although Creation Wines was lucky to escape the terrible damage that hit so many other parts of the Overberg this past weekend, due to the damaged road access the property was closed off on Sunday morning - much to our (and our guests’) dismay. For the first time in six years the Tasting Room at Creation was forced to close and although every effort was made to alert those guests who had booked, there were still a few brave souls who arrived at our door later on in the day when the road had reopened. The only catch was that we were not informed that access had been restored! Thank you Carolyn, Phillip, Madelein and Monique for racing up to the farm on such short notice to offer those Creation fans who had made the trek a taste of our unfailing hospitality. Our apologies for any inconvenience experienced due to this unforeseeable event. A marriage made in heaven On a lighter and far more summery note, kreef (West Coast rock lobster) season 2014 opened on the 15th of November and once again heralds the arrival of a truly South African tradition. Nothing says summer holidays by the seaside like a crayfish braai and we believe there is no better accompaniment than a glass of Creation Chardonnay. Viticulturist, winemaker and cellarmaster JC Martin has confirmed that the 2013 vintage has been the best thus far. It rewards with glorious layers of sun-kissed pear and peach enhanced by fresh minerality and a hint of vanilla. The full-bodied palate is in perfect harmony: generously fruity and subtly spicy, with well-judged acidity contributing excellent balance. Creation chef Warwick Taylor has prepared the perfect dish to complement our 2013 Chardonnay: a butter poached crayfish with almond and sweet corn. [CLICK HERE FOR THE RECIPE] Remember, crayfish is a protected marine species and there are very specific regulations that must be adhered to when fishing for kreef. The West Coast Rock Lobster Season opens on 15 Nov to 17 Nov, closes from 18 Nov till 13 Dec, re-opens on 14 Dec till 1 Jan 2014, closes again from 2 Jan until 17 April and then opens for the public holidays between 18 and 21 April 2014. This represents 26 open days in all. Crayfish may be caught from 8 am and must be landed by 4 pm. A maximum of 4 West Coast Rock lobsters may be taken per day. The minimum age for licence holders is 12 years. Licences can be bought from your local post office for R92 per permit. You’re invited to our Sunset Market on 15 December. [CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL DETAILS REGARDING THE INVITE] THE EVOLUTION OF FOOD AND WINE PAIRING: HOW IT STARTED Since its inception in 2002 Creation Wines has held innovation as one of its defining principles. While this has led to a range of wines characterised by rare elegance, distinction, balance and finesse it also gave rise to the award-winning Canapé and Wine Pairing concept, a first for a South African wine estate when launched in 2009.

Its all about the food. We are fortunate to have links to Nina Timm the Kuberkok on RSG and the winner of the Eat in Magazines 2012 Blogger of the year. Here is a sample of one of Nina,s Paleo/Primal recipes on the Paleo living web pages.
Moussaka-A healthier,lighter version Most versions of moussaka are based on sautéed eggplant (aubergine), tomato and minced lamb or beef. The Greek version includes layers of meat and aubergine topped with a Béchamel sauce, and baked. On the other hand, Turkish mousakka, is not layered. It is prepared with sautéed aubergines, green peppers, tomatoes, onions, and minced To see many more of Nina’s recipes click HERE.

The countdown to Christmas has begun and in little more than a month we will hopefully all be celebrating with friends and family whether it be at our homes, some beach resort or a far off holiday destination. Regardless of where we will be, I read and hear about Christmas menus everyday. Moms, grannies and wives all walk up and down the shop aisles with long lists to get everything ready for this special day on our calendar. I share my perfect Christmas Menu with you! The latest recipes from Nina Timm my easy cooking Crayfish season officially open! All recreational divers please take note of the 26 days in which you are allowed to dive crayfish. When is Crayfish season Cloete Afrikaners coming to Braeside Butchery Adriaan, Willie and their Dad are based near Jan Kemp Dorp where they farm beautiful Afrikaner cattle. This breed is indigenous to SA and were the first cattle Jan van Riebeeck encountered when he landed in the Cape. Generally this breed is rejected by feedlots as they grow too big, too quickly. However they are some of the finest beef cattle in the world. What’s new Braeside Butchery West Coast Restaurant Review THE RIVIERA HOTEL, VELDRIFT South African villages are riddled with single story hotels. I cannot think of a single hamlet or “dorpie” that does not have its contribution to the genre. I think there was a specific architect who wandered around South Africa in the dark ages and designed these buildings. They all had a bottle store attached and were like the proverbial peas in a pod.
