Celebrating MCC Book Launch

O, what a night! The release and launch of the anticipated book 'Celebrating Méthode Cap Classique' has come and gone and was a great success, exceeding all expectations.

The launch was held at Simonsig Estate in Stellenbosch that proved a magnificent venue and the theme fitted in perfectly with Simonsig's 40th anniversary of Kaapse Vonkel MCC. The evening was lead by author and publisher Di Burger and she was accompanied by guest speakers Frans Malan (Simonsig) and Peter Ferreira (Graham Beck and MCC Association of SA). Bubbly from all participating estates and wineries were to taste and everybody had a fabulous time sampling SA's greatest. The evening was one to remember.

Simonsig Estate was the ideal venue for the launch.
