Giant of South African Wine Passes

I was saddened today to hear of the death of great South African vintner Graham Beck at the age of 80. Graham died of cancer at his home in London where he stayed during the Cape winters. Graham started in the wine business back in 1983 and managed his brands, notably Graham Beck Wines, to international recognition and acclaim. Graham is survived by his wife of 50 years Rhona and his son Anthony.
