It’s common knowledge that I am an only child, born under a rainbow; and with that predisposition comes a unique set of experiences that other children with siblings may not have experienced. That’s at least what I thought, before I started chatting about this issue of Dove soap to my buddies last weekend. It turns […]
I’m not sure if you’re noticed, but just a heads up – digital is where it’s at right now. And even more to the point, mobile is taking over at a rapid pace. Mobile apps on all platforms have become our new internet and that space is dominated by Apple IOS and Android. Android is […]
The problem with winning the lottery in Illinois, is the law states you can’t remain anonymous. Which is shit for the people who won, but great for us – because we get to look the subject of our jealousy in the eye. Meet Merle and Patricia Butler, who bought one of three winning tickets to […]

Do you ever get frustrated tasting the same wines over and over again? Even if the labels are different, what’s inside never really changes all that much. I can understand this frustration, it happens to me every now and again. Wine is about difference, it’s about different areas, different varieties, different winemakers; at its core wine is about exploration. Wait, that’s not true, at its core wine is fermented grape juice, but you know what I mean. So to aid you in refreshing your palate, this will be the first of two posts listing young winemaker/winemaking teams making exciting personality filled wines from around the country.

Wine is drunk a lot. But what else can we do with the contents of Bachus’s juice bottle? Does wine have to be confined to the glass and stew? Does wine have a life outside sipping and slurping? Surely this most miraculous of beverages has other uses. It does friends, it does. And these uses have got me out of a few scrapes in my lifetime let me tell you about a few.
I’ve done a few cruises on the mighty Atlantic ocean, overlooking our fairest shores, and I can tell you they can cost a pretty penny.

For the last column or two I have been rather negative, telling you not to drink this, and what not to do. It weighs on a man’s soul to be so negative so often. Today I am going to tell you about a few things that are awesome in the world of wine, things that I am happy to recommend – ideas and wines that will hopefully make your week.

It’s getting to that time when people are saying, “enough with the coffee pinotage already.” I don’t mean they are tired of drinking the stuff, rather that they are fed-up with my rants and raves on the subject. “We get it,” I hear them crying, “you don’t like the stuff. Move on.” I have tried, dear readers, I have tried so hard to seal my lips on the subject. I have tried to make the blasphemy a blasphemy itself. I have kept mum. I have kept it inside. That is, until I came across this: Coffee Pinotage, with bubbles.

In Rands, that comes to R4.1 Billion. And you can buy tickets online or on mobile – from anywhere in the […]

Cape Town is one beautiful-ass city. The mountain, the beaches, the women, the wines, the song. Come on. But living in the city can, without you even knowing, start to ever so slowly drag you down. The constant noise, the sirens, the lack of stars, the complete lack of silence. So as your attorney, I advise you to head out to the country for a few nights. All right, I’m not Benicio Del Toro, but it’s the best advice you’ll get this year. Not only that, I am going to tell you how to take that advice, go all in, and take the pot, because there is one place you need to go for your bush getaway, and that’s Kagga-Kamma.
Ever since the first person flung themselves from a life-threatening height only to be saved by a stretchy cord or a makeshift parachute, thrillseekers have constantly sought to push the limits of extreme sports. A new promotional video for the Mini JCW Countryman takes things to the next level. Think car + human kite. Click through for the video.
The house from The Godfather – where studio head Jack Woltz wakes up with his prize horse’s head in his bed (courtesy of Don Corleone), is on sale for $95 million. It also happens to be the place where JFK honeymooned with Jackie. It’s a pretty serious pad – I mean how many homes have […]

The MegaMillions lottery has now rolled over so many times that it is about to start breaking records. It’s sitting on $356 million! In South African Rands that comes to R2.7 BILLION! Thats the 5th largest lottery jackpot EVER! I find it difficult to justify NOT buying a ticket.. According to nj.com: No one matched […]
Wine tastings. To state the bleeding amputated and mangled obvious, wine tastings are generally the best places to learn about wine if you don’t have an overflowing bank account, or an incredibly well stocked cellar. I can’t recommend going to tastings strongly enough if you are keen to broaden your vinous horizons. That being said, I thought I would give you a little guide of what not to do when you are there. For the most part, the parameters extend to everyday life, and can be summed up neatly as “don’t be a douche”.
Seriously, you really don’t have to even think – we’ve got it covered.

Check it […]
The rough and ready salt-of-the earth winemakers of South Africa have been known to, at times, give me kak for being a soft handed, soutie poofta who spends all his time drinking, and none of it working. And despite the fact that they are not entirely incorrect with this assessment, I readily took Adi Badenhorst (possibly the saltiest and earthiest of the lot) up on an offer to stay on his farm for a few days during the harvest, and help out.
