South African recommendations requested

[Jeff Grossman]

The reason I mentioned them, as long as we're all doing "oddly" things, is that I had a very passable and very inexpensive merlot from them.

 

[Jake Parrott]

Indaba isn't a wine farm per se...it's a bulk operation owned by Cape Classics. You can't visit them.

 

[Jeff Grossman]

Thanks for the info, Jake. I knew it was industrial plonk, but it was better than usual industrial plonk.

 

[Thor]

Doing some searches in a different context, I rediscovered this plea for help and wanted to thank everyone for their recommendations. They were very useful in planning a most enjoyable trip.

Say hi to Margie Barker, if you see her!

 

[Thor]

I dunno, Chris, it's a big country. What do you think are the odds of that?

 

[Joe Perry]

Ask Thor Iverson. He was there recently.

 

[Thor]

I'm still waiting for some recommendations from Brad, at which point I intend to travel back in time and go.

 

[Brad Kane]

Oh. Didn't see original date. Oh well.

One in ten billion?

Stil, it could happen.

 

[Thor]

But now you're just being crazy. What do you think, she's going to be upstairs at some winery while I'm tasting downstairs, or something? And that there's going to be this big soap opera-y moment where I leave, the guy I've been tasting with walks upstairs and happens to mention my name, there's a big scene of shocked recognition, a hurried phone call, a rush back to the winery just in time for the final scene...

Dude, you've been reading too many romance novels. That's just nuts. It could never, ever happen.

 

[Chris Coad]

As long as no one drags my name into it, I'm fine with whatever kooky scenario you dream up.

 

[Thor]

Such ego! As if, given the infinitesimal chance Margie and I would cross paths, we'd spend any time at all talking about you.

 

[Chris Coad]

In my little world of wonder, EVERYONE wants to talk about me. But I thank you for your discretion, should such an improbable event occur, as I have a few outstanding warrants down there and wouldn't want the authorities to get wind of my whereabouts.

 

[Thor]

No doubt. Well, as I said, it's an impossibility anyway, so you won't have to worry about it.

 

[Jeff Grossman]

Get a room, you two!

 

[Chris Coad]

An improbable room?

 

[Thor]

A four-dimensional room at the Tesseract Hotel.

You know, the more I think about this, I wonder if this increasingly hypothetical
Margie would even remember you, Chris.
