Circle of Life vertelt het verhaal van Waterkloof: een eens conventioneel gekweekte wijngaard met een groot potentieel, die - sinds Paul Boutinot het landgoed overnam - door Farm Manager Christiaan Loots en zijn team is omgetoverd tot een levende, ademende biologische en biodynamische wijngaard. Het doel van Waterkloof is om evenwichtige en karaktervolle wijnen te produceren. Dit doen zijn doormiddel van traditionele biologische en biodynamische methoden. Met geweldige wijnen als resultaat.Het potentieel van Waterkloof
De Circle of Life wijnen tonen het potentieel van Waterkloof. Alle druiven worden met de hand geplukt, gesorteerd in de wijngaarden en met paarden naar de kelder gebracht. Om er zeker van te zijn dat alleen de beste bessen worden gebruikt, worden de druiven ook nog in de wijnmakerij met de hand gesorteerd. De Rhônevariëteiten werden geheel gegist en de Bordeauxvariëteiten werden ontdaan van de steel. De gisting begon op natuurlijke wijze met gist aanwezig op de druiven om de overheersende smaken in de wijngaarden te versterken. De wijnen blijven ongeveer 30 dagen op de schil zitten, zodat de tannines zachter konden worden. De duur hiervan is afhankelijk van de smaak. Hierna worden de druiven zacht geperst en afzonderlijk gerijpt in Frans eiken. Na 18 maanden rijping worden de Syrah (26 procent), Merlot (24 procent), Petit Verdor (26 procent) en Cabernet Frans (24 procent) samen gemengd en nog 9 maanden bewaard in houten fermentoren. Deze wijn is ongefijnd en voorzichtig gefilterd.Geniet van de perfecte blend van Waterkloof
En dan is het tijd om te gaan genieten. Een perfect geïntegreerde blend met een grote lengte, die de kruidigheid van de Syrah, het verse fruit van de Petit Verdot en de sappigheid van de Merlot combineert. De introductie is fris en fruitig met een goede zuurgraad, evoluerend naar rijpere smaken en kruidachtige tonen, en met elegante tannines en lichte zuren in de afdronk. Het is erg veelzijdig en zal tal van gerechten aanvullen.Shipping Notes

Misses some important context, but a solid book
Format: Audiobook
I can't give it the 3.5 stars it deserves. Smith is an outstanding writer and has long view China as an adversary that we intentionally do not pay attention to given the elites make large amounts of money working with the CCP. In this book he demonstrates that happened from the get go, starting with Kissinger. Rarely, if ever, were American interests ever viewed as the lens with which to see China, only as a way to make money for power brokers and businesses alike. He points to Trumps long standing opposition to the way the international trade system evolved and the way it harmed middle class Americans.
All of this is outstanding, but the book loses many points trying to cover for terrible protectionist economic policies. We certainly may have gone too far in hollowing out the industrial base, but 100% of Americans benefitted from lower price and more selections. It is not the purpose of the book, but a look at overall US business policy has been to harm Amercians, one need look no further than mass immigration, legal and illegal that drive down wages at the lower/middle end. Nor does the book bother with looking at general business mindless following each other for yet another new fad, from six sigma to who moved my cheese. Again, not what the book is about, but he tries to make the claim that all of this is China and elite policy driving toward this outcome when that data is not supported.
Overall, it is a better than worse book that one should read if for no other reason than to see how far we have actually bent over for China for gains that are mostly illusory for business access. That China still uses the elites to gain access not just to markets but US citizen minds is the real problem. Smith does a good job pointing that out

Yet, so many US consumers take a knee to Chinese imports.
Format: Kindle
My first response to Lee Smith's "The Chinese Matrix" is anger with the CCP. But, they did what treasonous US politicians and investors permitted in exchange for wealth and power. The current situation reminds me of the Chinese finger trap - a small tube of woven reeds just large enough to insert a finger into each end. When naturally trying to withdraw the fingers from opposite ends, the woven reeds constricted. Escape was contrary to natural instinct. Likewise, to extract our country from the Chinese Matrix will require unnatural sacrifice.

Comprehensive and bold analysis of US foreign policy with China.
Format: Kindle
Lee Smith takes the reader through the many years of China appeasement from Kissenger and Nixon to the present where China continues to suck the power of the US toward its goal of global domination.
