Rick�s a long-standing Elvis fan. That�s Elvis Costello, of course. The title for Episode 22 �Blood and Chocolate�, was inspired by Costello�s 1986 album. It�s an album bursting with anger, full of frustration and resentment, delivered with passion. His songs are about obsessive love and infidelity; nowhere more potently than in the track I want You. The wine itself was a mature parcel from the 2003 vintage sourced from Nederburg in Paarl. When this similar parcel presented itself early in 2021, Rick decided it would make a suitable sequel to the original release, hence the addition of �new� to the title. The addition of the roses to the label, should appeal to all lovers of Cadbury�s. And they gave me Roses chocolates� �New Blood and Chocolate� also appears as Episode 34 as a limited release bottled wine too�

Beyond the periphery of South Africa’s conventional vineyard regions lie great vinous treasures, resigned to anonymity; forgotten, abandoned or just simply undiscovered. It is the mission of Rick, our intrepid Cape Crusader, to seek out and liberate these rare wines, consigning them to the table of the most inquisitive and discerning imbiber. Each episode represents a single discovery; a precious parcel that is both unique and finite.

Rick is the alter ego of Master of Wine, Richard Kelley
Over the past 25 years, Richard has become one of the most respected authorities on South African wine in the UK and beyond. Between 1995 and 2002, he lived and worked in the Cape, witnessing the renaissance of the post-apartheid wine industry. Throughout this fruitful period, he established a healthy rapport with the great and the good of the local wine scene, affording him access to their distinguished cellars.
