CNN/SI - Rugby Union - South Africa storms past Wellington 24-22 - Sunday March 07, 1999 01:34 PM Posted: Sunday March 07, 1999 01:34 PM WELLINGTON (Reuters) -- South Africa's Stormers came from 19-5 down at halftime to beat the Wellington Hurricanes 24-22 in a cracking Super 12 championship game in Wellington on Sunday. The Hurricanes had a chance to snatch victory with the last kick of the game, but David Holwell missed a penalty attempt from 35 meters straight in front of the posts to give the game to the Stormers. Kicking from in front of the posts into a tricky southerly wind, the ball initially looked on target but drifted to the left, much to the consternation of the unfortunate Holwell and the 20,000 crowd and the relief of the Stormers. sportsillustrated.cnn.com /rugby/news/1999/03/07/southafrica_wellington   (492 words)

Tasting notes: South Africa I'm generally a big fan of South African Chardonnays, and Jordan is a winery with quite a reputation, but I wasn't overly keen on this one. One of South Africa's most famed Chardonnays, the 1998 vintage is a big but refined wine that carries its 15% alcohol well. Quite typical of South African Sauvignon Blanc (don't expect the gooseberries and elderflowers typical of New Zealand Sauvignon), but while its tasty enough, there's a slight greenness to this is a bit off-putting. www.wineanorak.com /tsafrica.htm   (6366 words)
