Hoodwinked By Chenin
14 Dec 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 6 Comments
What’s the deal with South African Chenin? It has been a variety that I have espoused with vim and vigour since I became a wine consumer of serious proportions. I thought it offered excellent value for money, and offered a range of styles – “I’ll find one for you” I have cried to unbelievers. But had I been fooled by overt sweetness? Was my praise of this variety ill-founded? Had I been hood-winked by easy drinking cheap wines? Did my wallet guide my palate?

South Africa’s Fundamentally Flawed FM Radio “Listenership”
12 Dec 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
We’re at an interesting juncture with regards to media and, in particular, radio in South Africa. Advertisers have been blowing a load of money on radio for years, hoping that the “shotgun approach” will get the message across to mainstream FM’s listeners. The listenership figures they are working with, are produced by way of the […]

Charlize Theron Was A Bully / Forced Headmaster To Make Her A Prefect
12 Dec 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
That’s according to Karlien Breytenbach (pictured), who went to school with the Oscar winner. She says that Charlize Theron is a liar and her recent statements about being bullied at school are false. On the contrary, apparently, “She was never bullied. She’s the one who bullied the other children.” Follow the link for more insight […]

Wine Advice For Christmas: Keep Drinking
02 Dec 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Christmas: a time of drunkenness, praise, and popped shirt buttons. There’s revelry and excess, angels and shepherds, and of course, the fat man in the fur-trimmed getup with a hankering for cookies, milk, and having children on his lap. A weird and wonderful time it is. It is also the time of year that wine columnists all over the world trot out their terribly banal “Top 10 Wines for Christmas” piece. I hate those.

What Picking Your Nose In Traffic Says About You
01 Dec 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
It is common knowledge that human beings have a bizarre attachment to their personal cars that doesn’t extend to other pieces of engineering. Manufacturers cottoned onto this very long ago and changed the simple motor vehicle from being a tool for getting from one point to another conveniently into an expression of individuality and character.

Where Is The South African “Sideways”?
28 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
What is needed is for wine to start appearing in South African popular culture. (Do we have one of those?) Remember that rather kak film, Sideways? That changed how Merlot and Pinot Noir were sold in the States. Just because that snivelly little prick Miles told everyone to “Fuck Merlot”, they did, running to quaff cheap Californian Pinot Noir by the bucket load.

My Delayed Goodbye To The White Stripes
25 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
The other day I bought Icky Thump, almost begrudgingly. I didn’t think it would be that good. It didn’t get the commercial attention (by that I mean our radio stations only played the single Icky Thump off it) of albums like Elephant and Get Behind Me Satan, leading me to think that perhaps it was a bit of a dud. If you haven’t bought the last album – do. It really is that good.

The 2012 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Is Around The Corner
23 Nov 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS TO THE QUEEN’S PLATE I find it somewhat amusing that people are already talking about plans for New Year, and yet they neglect to discuss the event which comes just after New Year, every year. An event which oozes more class and genuine fun than any New Year party could […]

Prince Philip Calls Wind Farms A “Fairy Tale”
21 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
He also called them “absolutely useless”, and he might have a point too. The Duke of Edinburgh, at age 90, rightfully points out that wind farms are heavily reliant on subsidies, and that those who claim they’re one of the most cost-effective forms of renewable energy believed in “fairy tales”.
