An African Inspired Surprise Tasting Menu

An African Inspired Surprise Tasting Menu



The wine tasting of Stellenbosch was complete. I was so impressed with Stephen Flesch and his company Gourmet Wine Tours of South Africa that I decided to ask him to join me for this dinner meal, which would be an eight course meal, surprise tasting menu of South African inspired cuisine, with a ladies touch. Steve and I started in the Lounge Bar, as I enjoyed a cocktail starter with Primitiv Cederberg, South African vodka, and then was called into the main dining room of The Tasting Room, by last name and business title, which I thought was a very nice touch. As you enter the dining room, dangling from the ceiling are hundreds of white globes, with a service station to the left, then the main dining room to the right and straight ahead. To the right were the windows and a door leading to the patio area. The ceiling was low, about nine feet high, and the tables were a light brown oak, a very modern look.
