In the Western Cape of South Africa, Chacma baboons are ravaging the vineyards in search of ripe Chardonnay grapes. They are eating up to 2 tons of grapes a week. That’s 4,000 pounds of grapes in a week!!!!
2 tons of grapes can make up to 2,000 bottles of wine. The farm owners are doing everything short of shooting these pesky baboons to no avail.
The winemakers have commented that they will have to resort to the French style of winemaking where fewer grapes are used to make the wine. That will substantially raise the price of the wine.
The wine special tonight is a South African Chardonnay called Juno. I have a limited supply so be sure to get yours while they last!!!!
