Feeling a little bit wonky… When their students aren’t quibbling over gay kissing, UCT and Stellenbosch University are waging beer war. And beer is most certainly worth waging war over. Consider these wise words of wisdom from greater men than I: “You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline […]
We’re pretty blown away by the response to the “Seth Song” we’ve been playing fairly regularly, over at 2oceansvibe Radio. It’s not only a damn funny tune, but I tell you what – it’s got the heads bopping too! Apparently The Assembly lost their minds to it last Saturday! The guys behind the tune are […]
In this crazy, crazy world of hyper-consumption, brands are putting a lot of emphasis on consumer loyalty. And the best way to nail down consumer loyalty? Get to your consumer before anyone else does. We all know that the combination of Klipdrift brandy and Coke is quite a big deal north of the Vaal. If […]
So after an evening of sushi, springbok bruschetta, Belinni coctails, bubbly, and of course, Butlers Pizza (*COUGH* 2oceansvibe Radio launch COUGH*), there’s only one thing you eat for breakfast. And it’s not a bottle of Boschendal!
All protocol was relaxed as we granted one photographer and virtual-tour expert (Panascape) unprecedented access to my suite at the Cape Royale hotel. As it is my primary residence, you can imagine what intimate never-seen-before details were caught on camera. The virtual tour itself let’s you cruise around the Cape Royale hotel (spinning 360 degrees […]
2oceansvibe partner brands are constantly winning worldwide recognition, and, whilst the brands themselves are very excited when these awards are given, I can’t say I am surprised. I mean, that is after all why they’re a part of vibe, right? We only deal with winners around these parts! This time it’s a gold medal for […]

Regular readers will know that I’ve worked on all sorts of campaigns over the last eight years – with most of them being very unique and different and fun in their own way. I have been working with the Smirnoff Experience “Mashup Street” with Tiesto vibe over the last few weeks and I can categorically […]
Last week we gifted you an article about those beer-can stickers that allow you to have a sundowner on the beach without getting arrested. Very cool. But not cool enough, for the serious beer-drinkers out there, it seems.. The more laddish lads out there will be enthused at the suggestion of this new beer aquapack […]
I was really stoked when I found this pack of magic in the Big Blue shop in Kalk Bay this weekend. As some of you will be aware, drinking alcohol on Camps Bay beach and all other public beaches in Cape Town is prohibited. And whilst some of you have taken to making pre-mixed drinks […]
Wine fans throughout the country are urged to pick up the latest copy of Wine Magazine and to cast their eyes over to the back page of this, the April issue. That is where you will find us, in all our glory, raising a toast to you. You should find the interview suitably amusing. * […]

Puma has created a special beer as a part of their “Unity” campaign for the world cup. Designed by Collective São Gabriel. See what they did there? [source : thedieline] [thanks andy]
To do it right you need some essential skills. For me, my “skill set” is pretty vast, to say the least. To begin with, I’m pretty quick off the mark. I beat Craig Lorden (The Lord) in a foot race in London a few years ago, and Craig is well known for his pace. I […]
If only she was just “The Peroni Girl,” then it would be less confusing. Unfortunately Landi Swanepoel is also “The Guess Girl,” so please pay attention if you don’t want to get left behind. This week brings us the first 2oceansvibe Weather Girls Show of 2010, and boy do we have a cracker for you! […]
The Montrose Foundation does not require much introduction, given its affiliation to Montrose Place, the Cape Town rehabilitation facility at which Tiger Woods was rumoured to be receiving treatment. Whether Tiger Woods will be there or not, the ‘Midsummer Melodies’ in the Gardens on De Grendel is not to be missed! The evening promises a […]
When a guy gives you a bottle of tequila with a skull on it and tells you it’s locally made, you kind of want to run a mile. “What do you mean, locally made,” I asked the chap, as visions of Marcus Brain’s (The Kitesurfer) home-made beer and wine came to mind (my sight has […]
In November I alerted you about the Seth Rotherham feature in the ELLE Magazine. I didn’t publish it in full on these pages, as the magazine was still in circulation. It is now off the shelves and has coincidentally become one of their most successful issues ever. Weird.. especially with that issue of YOU Magazine […]
I put “on it’s head” in inverted commas to indicate a quote, presumably by someone with authority. Given the topic of wine pairing, one would hope, at the very least, that the quote came from someone within the food or wine industry. In truth… it didn’t – I made it up. Yup, that’s right. Much […]
I received the following invite from Puma, essentially giving me carte blanche to do whatever I want in their V&A Waterfront store from 19h00 to 21h00 tomorrow (Tuesday) night. They’re giving me a 45% discount, which I am able to extend to you. And that’s not for sale items – that’s includes NEW STOCK! Not […]
If you go to Google and search for “Boschendal Grande Cuvee Brut,” you’ll see at the number 1 position is the article I wrote a couple weeks back, telling you about that exact product becoming 2oceansvibe’s choice brand of bubbly! CLICK HERE to see that original 2oceansvibe article That was obviously a prelude to the […]
A lot of people are finding this spoof ad hilarious so I thought I would post it here in an attempt to slow down the excessive overly excited emails I’m receiving with subject lines including, “BRILLIANT” and “YOU’LL LOVE THIS!” It is to do with the guy (Ras Dumisani) who sang the national anthem before […]
WIN A BOTTLE OF ABSOLUT ROCK! I was given a few bottles of the new Absolut Rock Edition. Maybe you’ve seen it? At first glance it looks a lot like one of those gimp masks you keep hidden at home, but then you realise – oh no, this is a killer bottle of vodshkee right […]
You never find anything useful on 2oceansvibe. Naah……nothing! Like this… I mean why would you ever want to learn how to open a bottle of wine with your shoe? Admit it, that is probably the best thing you have learnt this year. SAY IT!!!!! Luckily for me, most of De Grendel’s wines are screw-top and […]
I wrote an article over a year ago about my experience at Mombasa Cafe , Cavendish Square, Claremont, Cape Town. I was moaning about the convenient joys of them being constantly empty, as well as the fact tat they did not serve Tabasco sauce (a big “no-no” as we know). Mombasa Cafe – Cavendish Square […]
Killer Combination Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to Co-Host 2010 Oscars Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to Co-Host 2010 Oscars – Producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman stated, “We think the team of Steve and Alec are the perfect pair of hosts for the Oscars. Steve will bring the experience of having hosted the show […]
It’s with great ease that they do, because Boschendal Grande Cuvee Brut (lest we forget the Le Grand Pavillon Brut Rosé) has very recently become the sparkling wine of choice for 2oceansvibe. Hardened 2oceansvibers out there will know what it takes to get the nod as a 2oceansvibe brand and, make no mistake, this premium […]
It’s been going on for a few weeks now and most of you will be aware of the Real Men That Can’t Sing Facebook page , which had a competition to win an iPod Touch if you correctly guessed the brand behind the RealMenThatCantSing.com website. My goodness, I got completely lost in the website – […]
No-one really knew what the fuck Vanilla Ice was doing in town a few weeks back – but now we do. He was here to film a TV commercial. You’ve probably caught the Castle Lite ad on TV. If not, you can watch it here. Watch it the whole way and listen at the end […]
You saw the 2oceansvibe interview with Goldfish a week ago, and you’ve seen last week’s Top Billing TV show. Nice. But now, finally, you can watch a live track from that day at the Cape Royale Sky Bar, with Goldfish – courtesy of Olmeca Black Tequila! Wait here for a black box to appear below. […]
