- Nabygelegen Scaramanga blend, Willow Creek olives, 2 year matured gouda, chorizo & the salami I made the other day. That’s just the starters #
- I heard the Birds Cafe in Bree street has new owners. Can anyone verify that? #
- So according to @CathyMarston & @whatsoneatery, Leigh Trout, ex Mont Rochelle, has taken over Birds Cafe. #
- And in further restaurant news, I believe that the ex Sandbar owner is now handling breakfast & lunch at the Grand in Camps Bay. #
- Wow, that does sound good. @whatsoneatery: @RelaxWithDax we are hosting Graham Beck Premium range 5 course pairing 1/9 #
- That’s good to hear RT @clairescotland: @RelaxWithDax the new Sunbird Bistro in Camps Bay is delicious, great service & very affordable. #
- Almost managed to get some work done. Now I’m off to &Union for a wine tasting and perhaps some dinner #goodtimes #
- Thanks for the info RT @KEENWA_quinoa: @RelaxWithDax it’s called the sandbar at the grand. same menu, same staff, different view. #
- The Nandos comedy festival is at the Artscape until the 14th. Tickets start at R150 http://bit.ly/mQvnT1 #
- Keen to join me for La Mouette’s Spanish evening tonight? You’ll have to book quickly as there are only 2 spaces left http://bit.ly/nPU5d6 #
- Tomorrow night is the tasting for the Cape Winemakers Guild auction at the ICC. This is one of the better wine events http://bit.ly/oUG9TC #
- Last night we tasted Black Pearl wines at &Union. The shiraz was my favourite, and good value at R85 http://bit.ly/nCsMB9 #
- Listening to them talk about the Symphonic Rocks event on the radio. Sounds like it will be awesome, must get tickets. #
- Settling in at the La Mouette Spanish evening. The wines are L’Avenir which I am happy about as I remember enjoying their pinotage before. #
- I enjoyed dinner at La Mouette last night, some very tasty dishes. Also met @elanlohmann and had an interesting chat about group buying. #
- Looking forward to the Cape Winemakers Guild tasting a bit later. Tickets are available at the door if you want to join http://bit.ly/oUG9TC #
- Wow, the Cape Winemakers Guild tasting is something really special. So many spectacular wines. Rolled over to Kyoto for some dinner. #
- I know this is hard to believe, but I actually posted something on RWD! Read my review of the CWG tasting http://bit.ly/pVarKk #
- RT @_el_burro: So, Rhapsody’s has taken over the Doppio Zero greenpoint space. #
- RT @ctfestofbeer: Don’t forget to sms CTFOB & your name to 36925 to enter the draw this afternoon for 10 tickets to the Festival. R5 p/sms #
- I ate at Kyoto Sushi Garden last night, 4 years after my first visit. Here’s my update on my original review http://bit.ly/qwXgdu #
- I have a table booked at La Boheme tonight. @CaptainBreadZA & I are going to try the rabbit & chorizo paella which I’ve heard so much about. #
- Busy having new tyres put on my car. Costing me half my life savings. But it’s worth it #safety #
- I got a bunch of quotes for Pirellis (good value), fitted + alignment. Speedy (on Buitengracht) were cheapest by 10%. Speak to Alastair. #
- Fact of the day: you should have your tyres rotated between front & back every 10 000kms to maximise tyre life span. #
- The paella has arrived! #laboheme http://t.co/6kQ5XqE #
- Today I am doing a (unannounced) tour of some of the estates who have entered the Great Wine Capitals Best of Wine Tourism Awards #GWCGN #
- To read more about the Great Wine Capitals Global Network, check out their website http://t.co/wvaQkKo #GWCGN #
- First stop, Waterkloof. An obvious choice in the Architecture & Landscape category. Awesome wines, pity we aren’t eating #GWCGN #
- Big tip for the white wine drinkers, the Circumstance chenin blanc 2009 by Waterkloof. It’s awesome. R90 a bottle from the cellar. #
- Follow my tour companions for more tweets about #GWCGN @lovewinelife @wholebunchpress @The_Month @kitchenvixenSA #
- Our next stop is Waterford for a wine & chocolate tasting. A candidate for the Innovative Wine Tourism Experience category #GWCGN #
- Flip, the Waterford Kevin Arnold shiraz 2008 is epic. The chocolate is just a distraction. R160 at the cellar. #
- Next stop is Grande Provence for lunch. They are entered in the restaurants category. I am hungry! #GWCGN #
- The Green Cab Company is our shuttle service for the #GWCGN tour. Socially responsible touring! http://t.co/KtlKjDh #
- You’ve heard the grass is greener, but it really is at our next stop, La Motte #GWCGN http://t.co/RzWf5Rz #
- Wine of choice at La Motte, the shiraz/grenache 2008. It’s very confident, would start a fight without backup. R319 (a bit much really) #
- Our next (last) stop is Avondale (for innovative wine tourism), the coolest spitoons by far! #GWCGN http://t.co/85iL7jJ #
- The most interesting wine at Avondale was the Camissa rosé, an unusual blend of muscat & mourvedre. But, like the others, expensive (R122). #
- Al fresco lunch at Forties wasn’t too bad. The experience was made more by the pleasant weather than the food. Service was friendly. #
- Good article RT @GregSym: Now we need leaders of such caliber, integrity & insight http://t.co/5JoeFOD #
- Postnet sucks. I don’t know if they all suck, but I know the one in Seapoint sucks big time. #
