Last night I went to the NG Kerk Tamboerskloof wine auction.
Around 120 people attended this event. The purpose of the event was to raise money which the church could then use for helping the local community.
Suprisingly there was a LOT of wine donated for this event. KWV donated an impressive amount!! There were a nice amount of magnum wines, lots of brandy, whiskey and port were on the list, 67 items of white wine and 167 items of red wine. It was very impressive. It took a long time to get through all the wine, but we got there in the end :-)
Approximately R120,000 was raised last night through auctioning off the wine, which I think was a good effort from 120 peole.
I helped my friend to source some wine for this event, so I would like to thank the following for supporting this event and helping this church to raise a fine amount of money to help the local communities:
Sumaridge: Donated a magnum bottle of Merlot 2008 and a magnum bottle of Pinot noir 2010.
Cronier wines: Donated 12 bottles of Capeville Robust Red
Thank you so much for having donated the wine to this event, any help is always much appreciated, and I believe the money will be used well.
This was the first time I attended this event. It was a nice event. We were welcomed with sherry, which was very nice!! I must find out which winery made that!! We had a meal at half time. The curry for dinner was just divine!! Huge compliments to the chefs, it was fantastic and a great choice!! The evening was finished with coffee, tea, yummy brownies and marshmallows for dessert.
I ended up spending much more than I had planned to last night but it was a good night, I now have enough wine for 6 months and I have helped raise money for a good cause :-) Thanks Tamboerskloof for a great night, I hope the money goes to good use and I look forward to next years auction!!!
