This captivating narrative tells the story of Beyers Truter, a world-renowned South African winemaker known for his expertise and dedication to crafting some of the finest wines. From his early days at Kanonkop to his rise as the proud owner of Beyerskloof, Beyers' journey is one of triumph, vision, and a profound love for his craft. In 1991, his exceptional skill earned him the prestigious title of International Winemaker of the Year. At the heart of this story is Pinotage, the uniquely South African grape that Beyers championed with unmatched passion. His connection to this cultivar goes beyond winemaking—Pinotage became a symbol of his unwavering dedication to quality and innovation. But Beyers' story is not just about wine. It’s a tale of a man who lives with a heart full of passion, generosity, and humility. His personal narrative is woven with humor, touching moments, and vivid anecdotes, whether recounting his nervous first harvest at Kanonkop or his dream of owning his own vineyard—a dream he realized with the creation of Beyerskloof. Through this memoir, Beyers shares stories of deep friendships, camaraderie with fellow wine legends, and the simple joys of life, such as his love for dogs, diving, seafood, and the people of Namibia. This is not a conventional biography, but rather an exploration of Beyers Truter’s zest for life, his unwavering commitment to his craft, and the relationships that shaped him along the way. Traildust In A Wine Glass is a celebration of passion, perseverance, and the beauty of living fully—one glass of wine at a time.

More great advice from Charlie Papazian, homebrew master and author of the bestselling The Complete Joy of Homebrewing. "Many ask me, 'What's different about The Homebrewer's Companion?' It's a book that I might have titled The Complete Joy of Homebrewing, Volume 2. The information is 98 percent new information, including improved procedures for beginning and malt-extract brewers as well as advanced and veteran brewers. There are loads of new recipes and useful charts and data that I continually refer to in my own homebrew recipe formulation (I still homebrew about 20 batches a year). My theme throughout is 'Keep it practical. Keep it useful.' I wanted to answer 10 years' worth of questions in this one volume. I did ... and I had fun doing it." -- Charlie Papazian Get the Most from Your Malt!

Suid-Afrika se Mnr. Pinotage, Beyers Truter, se passie vir die lewe en wyn is oral bekend. In hierdie boek kyk hy terug op sy eerste treë as wynmaker van Kanonkop, asook die deftige funksie in Londen toe hy in 1991 as Wynmaker van die Wêreld aangewys is. Hy vertel ook van die vlammetjie wat altyd in hom gebrand het om op sy eie plaas wyn te maak en die groot oomblik van Beyerskloof se eerste oes. Sy lewensreis as eienaar en wynmaker van Beyerskloof is een van vriendskap, nederigheid en lojaliteit. Die bekende ou skrywer van cowboy-boeke Louis L'Amour se betekenis van traildust was nog altyd vir hom 'n rigsnoer in sy lewe as wynmaker, ouer en vriend. Beyers sien altyd die humor in situasies raak en dis een van die redes hoekom hy die wyntoere so baie geniet het saam met Jannie Engelbrecht, Jan-Boland Coetzee, Kevin Arnold en Johan Malan. Hy het ook 'n lang paadjie geloop met die bekende Etzebeth-rugbybroers, asook Koos Kombuis. Hy deel ook sy liefde vir sy honde, duik, seekos en Namibië.

'Tea began as a medicine and grew into a beverage,' are the opening words of Okakura Kakuzo's The Book of Tea, written in English in 1906 for a Western audience. The book is a long essay celebrating the secular art of the Japanese tea ceremony and linking its importance with Zen Buddhism and Taoism. It is both about cultural life, aesthetics and philosophy, emphasising how Teaism - a term Kakuzo coined - taught the Japanese many things; most importantly, simplicity, which can be seen in Japanese art and architecture. Looking back at the evolution of the Japanese tea ceremony, Kakuzo argues that Teaism, in itself, is one of the profound universal remedies that two parties could sit down to. Where the West had scoffed at Eastern religion and morals, it held Eastern tea ceremonies in high regard. With a new introduction, this is an exquisitely produced edition of a classic text made using traditional Chinese bookbinding techniques. Surely it's time for tea.
