Celebrating Stellies

Contrary to most Capetonian belief,  Jo'burgers are actually interested in wine. There are fewer options on the average wine list and simply due to location, the garden variety Jo'burg dweller doesn't get access to the romance of the vineyard or the passion of the winemaker. Until now... 

 

The glory of the Stellenbosch winelands is making an appearance here in Jozi by…

House Ivorian to be precise, which is the local Cheers Bar for the Ivory Coast residents of the area. Men with drums and a triangle made out of a Black Label quart bottle sang and danced, which made the place feel…

The Leopard

 

My decision to move to Jo'burg was a swift one. I resigned on Monday and was in GP by Saturday evening. [insert something profound about seizing the day here]. But since I arrived,…
