Now living in a wine growing part of the Walker Bay, there are moves afoot to splinter this region into smaller wards. The Hemel en Aarde Valley, home to illustrious wineries like Hamilton Russell and Bouchard Finlayson, have petitioned and tramped on a few toes to demarcate their valley as a separate ward. Meanwhile, where I stay, the Bot River Valley, there are ideas to form a ward for this area. In the meanwhile, it strikes me, the best known (if any can be considered well known) is Walker Bay – so why not trade on that? Any comments from those not immediately in the wine scene? Which of the names have currency?
