Fast Cars Are Safer Than Slow Ones. Fact.
15 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
I was chatting about this with a good acquaintance last night who used to own a Mercedes AMG, and had since toned his taste down a bit because he had had a massive crash and didn’t want to own fast cars anymore. He said he’d kill himself yadda yadda. That logic is ridiculous, and I told him so.

A Plague On The Mocha Choca Wine Brigade
13 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 25 Comments
At dinner the other night I was paging through a rather limpid looking wine list. Safe wines, boring wines; not one of which inspired in me even a trace of “Wahoo!” I saw one from a producer I have enjoyed before – a Shiraz that I thought may offer something of interest. Boy, was I wrong. It was as interesting as watching paint dry on a black and white television, showing curling. The reason for it’s complete drabness was that it had fallen into the trap that many South African reds are succumbing to. The wine maker was forcing the wine to strongly exhibit flavours and aromas of coffee and chocolate.

Driving Simulators Do Not Simulate Driving
08 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
At the risk of sounding like a complete kill-joy, I just need to clear this up. I don’t mind a quick flurry on a console every once in a while, but I just can’t stand it when it’s referred to as driving or driving simulation. It’s like saying a war game is war simulation. I imagine if you asked anybody who’s actually been in a war what they think of Call of Duty 4, they will tell you to politely sod off. I imagine if you ask a racing driver what he thinks of Need For Speed 13, he will say the same thing.

The Stormers Stumble
08 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
As a stormers fan, one can hardly be upset by last Saturday’s shellacking at The hands of New Zealand’s finest. For starters they were so vastly superior in every facet of the game that you could hardly hold it against them. They played rugby that was a joy to watch, they were infinitely more physical than us and they had an ingredient in spade loads that we seemed to lack, that is that “they started with the why”.

Of Age And Aging: Is Older Wine Better Wine?
06 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
One of the things that makes wine stand out in the world of beverages is its ability to age and develop. It is a miraculous thing, tasting something older than you are (frustratingly, this gets more difficulty and expensive as you shuffle along the mortal coil). To taste a living thing formed by the elements […]

There Is A House In Orange Grove
05 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
You know how this one goes, right? There is a house in Orange Grove. They call it The Radium… The Radium is reputedly the oldest surviving beer hall and grill in Johannesburg, and unlike places like The Brazen Head, it genuinely has that aged feel. The chairs and tables creak ominously under the weight of the patrons and the food. The pavement outside is littered with ash and the odd beggar. The only things they seem to have added in the last 20 years are a stainless steel urinal and the big TVs. It is exactly my type of place to hang out.

Last Friday’s jackpot draw was an all-time record for the EuroMillions lottery – both in size and the amount of times it had rolled over (11). People were losing their minds, with many who had never played before, buying tickets. When it’s that big, only a fool wouldn’t enter. The chances of winning are smaller. […]

Thought For The Weekend – Britons Love Radio – When Last Did YOU Listen To Radio At Home?
01 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Isn’t that surprising? A study of British recreational culture has been published, and it transpires that British people love nothing more than to listen to the wireless. Much more so than they enjoy reading, surfing the net, or even watching television. That kind of thing is almost unfavorable in South Africa. Because the general quality […]

Vintage Cars, Vintage Clothing: Bad Ideas That Don’t Have To Be
30 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Like a hipster to a Sunday clothing market at an art-house cinema, many, many car enthusiasts are drawn to the vintage car market. It’s a wonderful place. Searching for that rare MG convertible, finding an example that still goes and stops without endangering your life, and taking it home to care for it and love it for the rest of your days is… The worst idea you will ever have.

Surviving The Terror Of The Supermarket Wine Shelf
29 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 17 Comments
In last week’s column I asked what kind of wine content you would like to see me write about. The comment that popped up more than most was about supermarkets, that is, how to deal with a wall of wines, all staring at you from the shelf. Which to buy? How do I know I won’t end up with battery acid? Oh god, the decisions. Too. Many. Wines. Fuck it, I’ll just get that coffee-flavoured Pinotage. Well, you are not alone.
