DINERS CLUB INTERNATIONAL 2009
WINELIST AWARDS
The Diners Club Awards, held each year in South Africa, are eagerly anticipated by the wine industry, hotels and restaurants. This prestigious international contest has been a fixture for many years and Michael Olivier, their convener, explains, "What the judges will be looking for is the restaurateur who takes trouble compiling the establishments’ wine list. As with last year, we offer silver, gold, platinum and diamond awards, with a national ‘best wine list’ award in each of these categories."
The Best Winelist, won last year by The Cellars Hohenort Hotel, is up for grabs again. The small game lodge list of 20 wines, the family restaurant on the corner and the International Hotel Restaurants all stand an equal chance. We are also offering best first entry wine list and the Wine Steward of the Year Award, won last year by Mortimer Stevens of Pezula in Knysna, which will go to fully employed wine stewards. We look forward to receiving many entries this year and to the results being announced in September.
Judging will take place in August and the winners will be announced at awards ceremonies to be held in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town in September.

The closing date for entries is by close of business [16h00]
Friday, 17th July 2009.
