It was a difficult task; to match our panels eventual choice of the ten best restaurants.
Nobody achieved this.
But one person got 8 out of the 10 correctly.
And that person is Michael McKenzie of McGregor and The Waterkant, Cape Town.
We congratulate him, wish [...]

I had heard about the Amarula Cocktail Competition and remembered a more youthful past where B52’s were part of any evening out.
I remember that using a cream liqueur in a cocktail was a tricky business as it floated on top of most spirits you mixed it with and also you had to be careful not to mix [...]
Tired of all the wine competitions?
Flummoxed by the endless lists of best Sauvignons? best this, best that?.
Completely confused when you visit your local supermarket or bottle shop to buy wine?
How do you chose? Is it the label? Do you go on price? Name? The number of prize winning competition winning stickers?
Can the sales assistant help? How [...]

Dear Spill
The thing is, I take care [...]
Where were you born?
I was born in Riversdale, in the Western Cape due to the fact that my hometown Heidelberg did not have a hospital in the 80’s. I grew up on a farm just outside of this small town, and enjoyed every moment. I believe growing up on the farm has influenced and shaped [...]
