Thank You Bar Bar Black Sheep
We had an amazing time in Short Street last night at the first (annual?) Bar Bar Black Sheep “thank-you dinner”.
The idea, as Mynhardt put it, is to give something back to everyone that had supported them during 2010.
The team had outdone themselves and it seemed the whole Swartland was there. Makeshift tables and chairs filled Short Street and chinese lanterns provided soft light while the pig turned on the spit.
Everyone brought their own wine, cutlery, crockery, salads, breads etc… And Bar Bar had a pig on the spit, a lamb in the pot, an amazing Mediterranean veggie bake and some Portuguese tripe stew going…
One of the best meals we have ever eaten in a paper plate…
Since we were late to arrive and there were no more tables or seats available, Adi and Herman quickly constructed us a table from crates and a pallet, with hay barrels for seats.
Thanks to Bar Bar Black Sheep for saying ‘thanks’ in style…

Adi, a "Wine Personality of the year"
Adi is another award richer, this time it is Neil Pendock’s Top Ten Personalities for 2010 award…
Adi shares this honour with nine other interesting local gentlemen (sadly, no ladies on the list), among others James Pietersen from Belthazar restaurant; retired KWV chairman Danie de Wet; Sandton restaurateur Alan Pick and Bartho Eksteen, Diners Club Winemaker of the Year.
How did Pendock make his decision? “when compiling a Top Ten Personalities for 2010, quotes are an obvious criterion…” and that is how Adi made the list:
Swartland winemaker Adi Badenhorst watching a table tennis match at &Union last week: “so this is what Capetonians do on Saturdays. In Malmesbury, everyone is working on their cars.”
