And Now That You’ve Been Planted, Bloem 🇿🇦 For @eatoutguide, I had the pleasure of asking @winojo, the @asisomms_ 7th best sommelier in the world: ‘what do sommeliers eat on a night off.’ This part: “Sunday lunches were the highlight of the week. After church, my dad would put on classical music and fetch a special bottle from the cellar, and my mom would show off her cooking. It was mostly hearty and rustic dishes – roasts, casseroles, lasagne and often lamb from my aunt’s farm in the Karoo. It was at these lunches that I was introduced to some old Cape classic wines such as @meerlustwine, @altowineestate and @rustenbergwines.” Read more on @eatoutguide (Link also in bio): https://www.eatout.co.za/article/journey-sas-jo-wessels-7th-best-sommelier-world/ Thank you @tessapurdon @eatoutguide @winojo #TasteLetsSee #EatOutGuide #ASIBestSomm #Cyprus (at Four Seasons Hotel Limassol Cyprus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqNAk61quUW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi, Uphi? 🇨🇾💕 Wear your heart on your sleeve? I wore the @saharvest x @tashascafe’s bracelet to the @asisomms_ opening dinner. Many in the global hospitality industry have been deeply affected by the cantankerous nature of the pandemic, it warms my heart to know that around the world, many people are deeply invested in the desire to make the table longer and bigger #Cyprus #FourSeasons #ASIBestSomm #TasteLetsTravel (at Four Seasons Hotel Limassol Cyprus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXMkqS4qh8c/?utm_medium=tumblr

Greeted with Granit 🇵🇹 At the @asisomms_ opening cocktail party, we were introduced to @quinta_soalheiro Granit Mineral Selection Alvarinho Later that week, during a remarkable Masterclass on this sublime Portuguese wine, the winemaker described the terroir as ‘like the moon’. It’s the kind of description that makes you truly want to see a place. #ASIBestSomm #TasteLetsSee #Cyprus #Soalheiro (at Four Seasons Hotel Limassol Cyprus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXMgOp6qOHR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thinkin’ ‘Bout You 🇨🇾 It seems as though I am destined to remain an analogue girl in an increasingly digital world. In the vein of Frank Ocean, a metaphorical tornado flew around my beautiful room hours after I took this photo. Somewhere between an update and my jetlag, my iPhone froze and crashed. Fortunately, I took a million notes so the stories of our adventure with @asisomms_ in @cyprus might one day be told. I look forward to unpacking it all with you, one glass at a time. #ASIBestSomm #Cyprus #TasteLetsSee #TasteLetsTravel (at Four Seasons Hotel Limassol Cyprus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXL2BG5qtrT/?utm_medium=tumblr
