"The Mullet is Alive and Well and Living in South Africa" or "The long awaited 5th post"

Been pretty busy and wifi hasn't seemed to have sprouted here like it has in the states so posts are few and far between I'm afraid.

This post is dedicated to all those wild south africans with business going on in the front and a party raging in the back i.e. The Mullet. (see below). Once "popular" in the 80's in the US (as seen below), the trend seems to have finally reached Cape Town. How many photos like this are currently being generated here only to be horribly regretted in 5 years?

Looking good Doug. Does Billy Ray Cyrus know how much he influenced a generation?

I've seen countless mullets during my travels around. They are often found to be inhabiting young male adults, often of a quasi hipster or rugby variety. Unfortunately, I have been without a camera during all of my encounters. I plan to stage a mullet hunting expedition to capture images of them in their native habitat: often lowbrow bars with high levels of Castle beer in the air. Pictures are soon to come.

Anywho, work is going well. Today we bottled the first 2012 red wine in all of South Africa. It is a Beaujolais nouveau style wine, I won't get into anymore detail other than it is a young wine, released basically 2-3 weeks after harvesting and is drunk soon after without any aging potential.

Some of the newly released wine. It was such a joy getting to stack all these all day.

Yesterday was a full moon and I got some pretty good pics. Would have been better if my camera was decent. Anyway here's one. Enjoy.

 Anyway, that's all for now; too tired to keep thinking of stuff to type. Till the next episode: "To Live and Braai in SA"
