Wine Experts: Useful or Con-artists?
17 Feb 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
A reader sent in this clipping a week ago, and with a glint in his eye questioned whether wine “experts” are as useful as snake-oil salesmen. The man has a point. When people start advising on matters that largely concern taste, you need to be extra careful for bullshitters. Not as careful as for a bullshitting anesthesiologist I’ll admit – a blagging doctor can kill you. But be careful, because there will be more half-arsed winos than there will be doctors.

It is quite alarming, the number of people out there that are “very keen to get a scooter” – but they never get their ass into gear. They realise what a pleasure it is to drive in the city – skipping the traffic and parking next to front doors and beaches, with no car guards […]

Christelle has worked out how easy it is to attach her phone via the AUX jack to her car music system. And with the 2oceansvibe Radio app (over 35,000 downloads so far) she won’t have to tear her hair out listening to radio that isn’t made for her. Maybe that’s why 2oceansvibe Radio is South […]

Dove Men+Care – Finally The Guys Can Get Involved
09 Feb 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
As a guy with a penchant for staying clean and not breaking into a sweat, I could be (and have been) described as ‘metrosexual’ from time to time. I’m fine with that because, on the whole, it is appreciated by all. As a result, I used my mother’s Dove soap throughout my youth and now […]

Five People Win $1 Million As Lottery Rolls Over To $310 Million
09 Feb 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments

Wine Drinkers, Let’s Stereotype
08 Feb 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 8 Comments
The next time you are sitting at your favourite after work spot – sipping on something as the day ends while stress and worry take a backseat for the evening – let your gaze wonder to the other customers and observe how they sip their wines. As I am a frequent visitor to a number of bars/restaurants/pubs/wine-bars/shebeens/picnics/holes-in-the-walls/sidewalks/gutters/parks/etc I have observed how people drink my favourite tipple. And when stress and worry get out from the backseat entirely, kicked out by the third bottle, I find myself thinking about stereotypical wine drinkers based on how the wine gets from glass to belly. I present you with a few of my favourites and most observed.

Wine Competitions: A Crock of Gold
03 Feb 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Wine competitions. Born from the union of Satan and Lady Luck, I loathe them. And there a lot of them too. Just in SA there’s the Old Mutual Wine Awards, Michelangelo, Veritas, Top 100 wines, Young Wine Show, Classic Wine Awards, Diner’s Club Winemaker of the year, the various Top 10s, Nedbank Green Wine Awards, Terroir Awards, and more. There are also, of course, the plethora of international competitions. What are these providing other than extra weight to the competition owners’ wallets? Sod all if you ask me.

The few of you out there who didn’t get a ticket to last night’s BILLION RAND LOTTERY, have been given a second chance. Personally, I don’t like to live on the edge like that. It can only be assumed that people don’t buy tickets because they think the lottery is going to rollover. Either that, […]

Wine And Fine Braaing
25 Jan 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
It is summer, and here in the Cape the long evenings nudge one in the direction of that most South African past time: the braai. Growing up, however, it was always beer around the braai and wine (white, nondescript, loaded with ice) in the kitchen. There was, of course, the exception in my French uncle for whom a glass of red wine is never far away. But beer was the norm. Beer dominates the braai. Is it some form of magnetic alliteration? Is beer that much better designed for smoke and charred meat? Do we still hold some outmoded idea that wine is for girls and beer is for boys? Or, possibly, is there some emasculation going on when a can is taken from the chief steak flipper and an elegant riedel glass subbed in?
