27 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The Montrose Foundation does not require much introduction, given its affiliation to Montrose Place, the Cape Town rehabilitation facility at which Tiger Woods was rumoured to be receiving treatment. Whether Tiger Woods will be there or not, the ‘Midsummer Melodies’ in the Gardens on De Grendel is not to be missed! The evening promises a [...]

SETH TURNS WINE PAIRING WORLD “ON IT’S HEAD”
04 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
I put “on it’s head” in inverted commas to indicate a quote, presumably by someone with authority. Given the topic of wine pairing, one would hope, at the very least, that the quote came from someone within the food or wine industry. In truth… it didn’t – I made it up. Yup, that’s right. Much [...]

HOW TO OPEN A BOTTLE OF WINE WITH YOUR SHOE
05 Nov 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
You never find anything useful on 2oceansvibe. Naah……nothing! Like this… I mean why would you ever want to learn how to open a bottle of wine with your shoe? Admit it, that is probably the best thing you have learnt this year. SAY IT!!!!! Luckily for me, most of De Grendel’s wines are screw-top and [...]

MOMBASA CAFE CAVENDISH SQUARE BITES BACK
04 Nov 2009 by Seth / 64 Comments
I wrote an article over a year ago about my experience at Mombasa Cafe , Cavendish Square, Claremont, Cape Town. I was moaning about the convenient joys of them being constantly empty, as well as the fact tat they did not serve Tabasco sauce (a big “no-no” as we know). Mombasa Cafe – Cavendish Square [...]

23 Sep 2009 by Seth / 2 Comments
My boy Travis gave me the heads up on this one as we downed another glass of De Grendel in Bakoven the other night. It’s too damn funny and I must caution those of you with weak bladders to perhaps relieve yourselves before pressing play. Will Ferrel is in it. That’s all I’m saying. [...]

OVER-AGE POLE DANCING AT CAFE ROUX
24 Aug 2009 by Seth / 7 Comments
I popped into Cafe Roux in Noordhoek the other day. I just love the place (even though they don’t yet stock De Grendel wine) because you never quite know what you’re going to get – be it the patronage and/or the surroundings. Last Sunday, for example, featured what could only be described as “Aladdin’s Grandmother” [...]

THE ETERNAL MOONWALK
16 Jul 2009 by Seth / 8 Comments
It’s interesting to note that Dirty Skirts lead guitarist, David Moffatt, sent this in. Michael Jackson is obviously one of his major influences – I had no idea. I’ve been given their latest album another listen, trying to pic up some MJ flavour…. but I can’t find it. But Dave does dance sexy – so [...]

FOOSBALL DESIGN DREAMS
11 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
I spotted a pretty cool competition going on at Foozi.co.za (local foosball manufaturing company) targeted at local ad agencies and designers. It’s a pretty rad idea, with the best foosball table design winning their very own branded foosball table! Quite nice. I had a little poke around and there are some pretty sick designs. [...]

THE OLDEST DRINKABLE WINE IN EXISTENCE
29 Apr 2009 by Seth / No Comments
I don’t know too much about wine, to be quite honest. I drink wine that I think tastes good and that’s probably why I’ve settled for De Grendel wine. Quality stuff, easy drinking and affordable – with all the awards to boot (just in case there is a wine snob in the room!). The oldest [...]

WOOLIES WINE FESTIVAL DEBUT
10 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’ve never been to the Diemersfontein Wine Farm before and, given that it was the first of it’s kind, I had never before indulged in the Woolworths Wine Festival. And what a treat it was! Positioned next to the town of Wellington and owned by Woolworths co-founders, The Sonnenberg Family, the farm is one of [...]
