I grow all reds — Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc, Petite Verdot, Malbec, and Pinotage. I made a blend in 2002 — Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. It's a nice drinking wine, called the David Frost Par Excellence 2002.
I export about 4,000 cases a year to the U.S.; about 2,000 are sold in South Africa. I want quality over quantity. In wine match play, a bottle of my best beats [Greg Norman's]. Mine is handmade. His is more of a commercial label.
With a nice porterhouse, try my 2003 Par Excellence. They bring out each other's flavor. Finish with a nice piece of chocolate cake, also a great complement.
When you swirl the wine around in the glass, you're looking for tears, or legs, that hang on the inside. It shows how structured the wine is. The more legs, the more structure it has.
A nice glass of Malbec at the turn can settle the putting nerves on the back — never in a tournament, but I've done it in games for fun.
When you win a tournament, it's instantly gratifying. You get congratulated by all your colleagues. I loved that. I also enjoy showing people the winery and my tasting room. Give up wine or golf? That's tough. Wine. I'm addicted to golf. Love it too much.
I wasn't a very exciting vintage of a player. You could say I was down the middle, predictable, with subtle notes.
I've sold cigarettes and now wine. [Laughs] But no, I will not be selling firearms any time soon.
