Sad for Ireland. Played some great rugby and looked to have the measure of the quarter finaaaahahahahahah

We should give them our Test status, seeing as we’re not using it

Clayton Reabow doesn't really have a job title. But he has a glorious Dijon top and he's very good at making wine. He joined me on the Spittoon Saloon to talk about Franschhoek, @moreson, Miss Molly, Lokaia, @stonybrookwine and other fun stuff https://t.co/E0zynNwJ0M

Perhaps our yellowest dressed guest yet. One of the best.

BREAKING: Rassie Erasmus being charged for Paine’s indiscretions

There’s a famous expression: “The loosest cannons are oft the most dialed in” Actually, that’s not an expression, but It ought to be. Anyway, in related news please enjoy the latest episode of Spittoon Saloon, featuring @IanNaude and Sakkie Mouton. https://t.co/8EdRyH70TJ

Up next on Spittoon Saloon is the irrepressible Ian Naudé. Where is the episode? It's a bit late on account of breaking the Internet. Or being broken by the Internet. It's hard to say - there's Old Vine Colombard everywhere.

Van Morrison's 1968 masterpiece, Astral Weeks, inspired one of the greatest things ever written. This is why every wine writer should read it. https://t.co/HWtOQura9w

It’s dry, but you can drink it

Right, the moment that some of you have been waiting for. The Thorne (without his Daughters) agreed to Take On Me in the Saloon @CultureWineBar, and isn't he a fascinating cat? Expect physics, calculus, A-ha, Burgundy and... just watch it already! https://t.co/HJAfCe3Gck

Another update: While not from Champagne, John has indeed struck again and again, and continues his bulletproof quest alongside the soy sauces in the pantry. Great gift, Mick

Update: Spittoon Saloon has been informed - quite correctly - that what Mick referred to as Adi Badenhorst's 'Sherry' is not Sherry as it doesn't come from the Champagne region in Jerez. We regret the error.

Spittoon saloon – Episode 4 featuring the second most important member of @cravenwines #spittoonsaloon #wine #SAfinewine Wines... https://t.co/3rLvAuJa2x via @Winemag

Next up at the Saloon is the delightful Kiara Scott from @brookdalewine. Kiara is a dancer. She's also smart, funny, makes a mean Chenin, and thanks to @olifantsberg is no longer averse to Pinotage. https://t.co/hjgKuJ46QX

Often shy initially, this vintage of @ChristianEedes is both serious and accessible. 93/100?

Thanks so much for all the feedback. We've heard from literally tens of adoring fans, with comments like "What was that?", "9 minutes i'll never get back" & "I've seen worse". Still six episodes to come in Season 1, but feel free to mention who you'd like to see in future.

Had a lot of fun creating this series with @Winemag and some of the more entertaining characters in South African wine. None more so than the irrepressible Butch Alheit. Whatever you do, don't like, follow or share this, or we'll have to make more https://t.co/KAZUCj2Is7

Butch’s blind tasting skills are up there with his wines

Excited to be involved and to get the show on the road. Looking forward to giving the SA wine scene the film platform it deserves.

And tonight they’re gonna party like it’s 19-9
