- Ok, so Cafe Sofia Greenpoint is definitely closed (confirmed via @LaBetenoir @site_sa @lauramelanie) #

- Tonight is the Men’s Health Big Pig Banquet in conjunction with Bread & Wine at the Kitchen Cowboys Canteen. This is going to be legendary #
- Some top wines at the #Vinimark tasting, but Val de Vie is going to get the most attention with Ryk Neethling pouring their wines! #
- Some great wines at Creation & I was impressed with their social media awareness. QR codes everywhere linking to various channels #Vinimark #
- I predicted that the Big Pig Banquet would be legendary & I was right. The pig farmer is explaining how the pigs are reared as we are eating #
- Charlie’s (the pig farmer) pigs have one hectare each on the farm, now that’s free range! #bigpigbanquet #
- If you’re wondering what we’re drinking at the #bigpigbanquet it’s magnums of Chocolate Block! #
- And the chefs? Reuben Riffel, Margot Janse, Pete Goffe Wood, Bertus Basson, Neil Jewell, Chris Erasmus. All top drawer #bigpigbanquet #
- Oh, let’s not forget Laurent Deslandes from Bizerca! Legend. #bigpigbanquet #

- Thanks to all who have dropped off Yellow Pages at 64 Wale St. The artist still needs 20 more by end of tomorrow. So please help if you can. #
- Never thought I’d say this about a Kia, but the new Sportage looks awesome. I’d love to test drive one for a while http://t.co/PxtHa69 #
- I think it’s very sneaky of Vodacom to only allow you to use your rolled over data once you have used all your current month’s data. #
- There are only a few tickets available for the Eat Out Awards dinner (aka the Food Oscars http://t.co/61YUu0L) in Nov http://t.co/EdMbYg6 #
- At least SA is pretending to evaluate Fracking, the UK went ahead without even an EIA http://t.co/wkwCTBP #
- Why is the ebook of Bad Science by Ben Goldacre the same price as the paperback on Kalahari? Shouldn’t they be cheaper? http://t.co/XzXF6an #
- The reason I was looking up Bad Science is that it reveals the quackery of Patrick Holford who is visiting SA now http://t.co/p984bPi #
- I like this South African website debunking the claims of supplements & alternative medicines http://t.co/7yo8Egc #

- RT @<a href="http://twitter.com/NewlandsBrewery”>NewlandsBrewery We will be hosting extra brewery tours during http://www.oktoberbierfest.co.za, 29Sep-1Oct. Pre-book on the website. #
- And fooddeals.co.za throws its hat into the group buying ring. Because the other 30 sites weren’t doing enough food deals. Obviously. #
- Ooh, just received a bottle of Rhebokskloof Chardonnay 2009. “Enough freshness to accompany a wide range of light dishes”. Sounds good to me #
- This evening I’m going to the launch of a solo exhibition by Chris Swift, winner of the Spier Contemporary last year http://t.co/BZTPO3R #

- Just received a bottle of 12 year old Oude Meester Reserve Brandy. I’m no expert but I think it’s going to be good http://t.co/IAYp3qe #

- Also worth doing this weekend, Franschhoek Uncorked. I had a total jol the last time I went http://t.co/aIHJsMp #
- Received package from the Sunday Times to tell me they are launching 2 new supplements, Food & Home http://t.co/3oHQory #
- Do you think that people who drive slowly in the fast lane don’t know they should keep left pass right? Or do they know but don’t care? #
- Just checked in at the Vineyard Hotel. My room is awesome, but also comes with 200MB free internet per night, which other Hotels don’t offer #
- Welcome drink was the 2006 Meerlust chardonnay. Will be interesting comparing with the ’09 served with the first course #VineyardPairing #
