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 [...]
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 [...]
I received the following invite from Puma, essentially giving me carte blanche to do whatever I want in their V&A Waterfront store from 19h00 to 21h00 tomorrow (Tuesday) night. They’re giving me a 45% discount, which I am able to extend to you. And that’s not for sale items – that’s includes NEW STOCK! Not [...]
If you go to Google and search for “Boschendal Grande Cuvee Brut,” you’ll see at the number 1 position is the article I wrote a couple weeks back, telling you about that exact product becoming 2oceansvibe’s choice brand of bubbly! CLICK HERE to see that original 2oceansvibe article That was obviously a prelude to the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Killer Combination Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to Co-Host 2010 Oscars Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to Co-Host 2010 Oscars – Producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman stated, “We think the team of Steve and Alec are the perfect pair of hosts for the Oscars. Steve will bring the experience of having hosted the show [...]
It’s with great ease that they do, because Boschendal Grande Cuvee Brut (lest we forget the Le Grand Pavillon Brut Rosé) has very recently become the sparkling wine of choice for 2oceansvibe. Hardened 2oceansvibers out there will know what it takes to get the nod as a 2oceansvibe brand and, make no mistake, this premium [...]
Well I tell you what, the prize couldn’t have gone to a better guy! Arthur Jones, the winner of the Seth Rotherham Experience, moved into my Cape Royale Suite on Friday night for a weekend of top brands and luxury. I popped in to visit him and the gorgeous Jess (turns out Arthur is playing [...]
Courtesy of Olmeca Tequila, Pussy Natural Energy Drink, Cape Royale Hotel and 2oceansvibe. What’s more, the only beer being served was Jack Black beer and the only wine was De Grendel Rose. Just because. All the professional behind-the-scenes pics are right here. The boys…the boys! You’ve seen that face somewhere before? The venue – shame.. [...]
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. [...]

You have spoken, and we have responded. Finally you are able to order De Grendel wine, Jack Black beer and Pussy Natural Energy drink online AND have it delivered to your door! I swear it. Our boys at Diletto have done the right thing and added the drinks to their online gourmet food and beverage [...]
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” [...]

What I’ve done here is fairly magical. I’m giving you the chance to win $101 million in the Euro Millions Lottery, and, if you don’t win that, you will have a fairly good chance of winning one of the biggest prizes we have ever featured on 2oceansvibe. It’s called THE SETH ROTHERHAM EXPERIENCE . Anyone [...]
I trust you caught the article the other day about how Obama unwittingly helped promote the new Rugby World Cup movie, after Nelson Mandela SUDDENLY received an ESPY award for his connection to sport some 15 years ago? Oh you missed it? No problem – here it is right here. Morgan Freeman and Matt [...]
Hey gang, I’m sorry to do this to you, but daddy is going away for a little bit. I know you must be scared, but just realise that it is very necessary as it will bring me us one step closer to global domination. You know how busy daddy gets. I will be gone for [...]
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 [...]
Paul from 1800 restaurant downstairs at the Cape Royale (click that if you haven’t seen this place yet) made a call to my room on Sunday night – “Thanks for the Butlers Pizza” he said, “the staff are all feeling the vibe.” Aah, good, the 10 larges had obviously arrived! Wonderful. They’ve got a lovely [...]
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. [...]
This incredible shot was sent in today by Mark C, showing the view of Cape Town from the Tygerberg region (home to De Grendel wines). Quite something! An ocean of cloud God only knows what is going on under that blanket!
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 [...]
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 [...]
