Last week I won a set of Sally Little Sunglasses by following @TheFairwayMole (click to follow) on Twitter – it’s about the first thing I have ever won and it was darn easy too!
Spurned on by this recent success I have been entering other competitions at a rate of knots – as [...]

Wine Routing: Two Estates You Should Visit
Last Saturday I went wine routing with some good friends and ashamedly it’s been a while since I’ve done so.
Which is criminal if you think about it – I live on the doorstep of some of the most spectacular wine scenery in the world. I have an excuse though – for the last year I [...]
La Colombe
On Saturday myself and Lovely Lis went to La Colombe for the first (and certainly not the last) time.
I was really excited about eating at La Colombe – I love food and I’ve heard so much about the place – it is the 12th best restaurant in the world after all.
One can’t help feel a [...]
Ode to Wine – Pablo Neruda

Ode [...]

De Krans Cape Tawny Port
The other day I wrote a post about the night I spent with Boplaas Cape Tawny Port – you can relive that magic here.
Cathy from Drunk! suggested I go out and buy a bottle of De Krans Cape Tawny Port – which I did – from my favourite little wine shop Vino Pronto.
I then spent [...]
Rumpsteak: in an arty kind of way!
Last week Lovely Lis and I went to watch Gaëtan Schmid perform his brilliant one man play Rumsteak at the Little/Intimate Theatre in Cape Town.
The show is a visual and aural behind the scenes take on a busy French kitchen experiencing ‘rush hour’! The sound effects and visual timing of Schmid are just mind blowing.
The [...]
