About
Goede Hoop Wine Estate is situated deep in a Stellenbosch valley known as the Bottelary Kloof. The estate is an absolute hidden gem in the industry. In 1928 the Bestbier family purchased the wine estate and today Pieter Bestbier is a third-generation winemaker on Goede Hoop. With a focus on ageing and cellaring to perfection, cellar master Pieter Bestbier maintains constant humidity and temperatures to create and maintain the perfect environment for wines to develop. The wines coming from the cellar are well structured and have years in them to further mature. Although released to be drunk, I would happily say that you could hold onto the bottles for another 3-5 years drinking whenever that special occasion arrises.

Writer's block
Ours is about 3 feet by 3 feet, and on our left is the account's block. The sales block is down the hall.
We're joking. Obviously.
Ours is at least 5 by 5, and on Wednesdays we're allowed to write in coffee shops to maintain the illusion that we're "successful" and "writerly".
Coming up with a write up for the simple sake of a write up does, however, become difficult when we're staring complete lack of creativity right in the face. But apparently asking management to cancel all the deals for the day isn't a viable fix.
As they so delicately put it, it'd be like a comedian having the option to suddenly cancel a show if they're not feeling up to it. Not on our watch, they said. You'll do a write up whether you like it or not, they said. And be funny, they said.
So here we are, doing a write up and being funny.
