Celebrating Izak's graduation


We had a dinner at Tokara's restaurant at the top of Helshoogte to celebrate Izak's graduation. The setting was just right, with the sun setting in the background over rolling vineyards and Table Mountain in the background. We looked back onto the lights of Stellenbosch almost as if experiencing Izak's new journey based on all that he has learned at Stellenbosch. The dinner was absolutely exquisite. I had a seared chicken salad with a curry sauce. We had a TJ Rose MCC with the starters and then for main their signature dish of Calamari tubes with shredded Lamb shank. The Vriesenhof Pinot Noir 2005 convinced me again that this is one of the best wines made in South Africa.
