Cath speaks to camera a bit.
[All Part of my Evil Plan:] Jan­cis Robin­son, one of the top three or so most influen­tial wine wri­ters in the world, gives Stormhoek a nice wee men­tion in the Finan­cial Times:

Stormhoek Shi­raz 2004 Wes­tern Cape at just £4.49 is another good wine – fra­grant, extre­mely fruity and easy – and has the dis­tinc­tion of having been made by the com­pany that has pio­nee­red blog­ging as a wine mar­ke­ting tool.
It was Stormhoek that published online just before Christ­mas a 40 per cent dis­count voucher at Thresher, the country’s domi­nant chain of off-licences. (This was far from crip­pling for the com­pany, which already pri­ces their lines as though ever­yone will take advan­tage of their three-for-two offer, and resul­ted in a dra­ma­tic inc­rease in sales.)
