Okay, I am technically jumping ahead in my ‘alphabet of SA wines’ (seeing that “S” is for “Saronsberg”), but given our current situation with the lockdown restrictions, and the fact that we’ve been given the reprieve of intra-provincial travel at least, I thought I will share this with you. My …
Continuing our “journey” of wine memories! Hoping to re-live at least some of these, sometime in the (near!) future. Okay, Allée Bleue is before Allesverloren in the alphabet, but I discovered these photos this morning (after I shared yesterday’s post) and just had to do a quick snippet about Allée …
I don’t have to say much about the current situation in South African with regards to the alcohol ban. I will not go into the pro and con arguments. The level of frustration is just unbearable. What I want to do, is to share a few snippets about our wine …

Here is South Africa IKEA isn’t really a thing, I guess. Not that I think that you don’t know what IKEA is, it is just that we don’t have this brand available here. But most of you may probably know it from various pop culture and other general references. …
I thoroughly enjoyed sharing my Favourite Finds with you last week. So much so that I am so keen to do it again, so here we go again – this is what kept me going the past week. What I watched: Jan (on Showmax) is truly a work of art, …
