Sourdough Hotdog Rolls | The Perfect Roll

Jan 29, 2021Jan 20, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 12 Comments

To me, the perfect sourdough hotdog rolls are soft inside with a firm, but not crunchy exterior.

In the 1990's Dave and I drank copious amounts of In the 1990's Dave and I drank copious amounts of the Meerlust Red. It is only released when the Rubicon is not up to standard. And for years, Meerlust was my wine of choice. Towards the end of the Century I met Hannes Myburgh at the Bryanston Country Club. I had gone with Dave and my Dad for a wine tasting and I had a few too many glasses of the newly released Pinot Noir. That night, Hannes gave me his business card, and I've held on to it. Today he signed my book for me. A small part of local history I shall always treasure. Tonight we will drink a bottle of Red to celebrate decades of happy memories. Thank you Hannes and Meerlust for being a part of them. #red #meerlust #meerlustred #HowCanIHelp #wine #winetasting #LavenderAndLime #stellenbosch #stellenboschwineroute
