If you can drink a mimosa for breakfast, then wine for breakfast is fine too. In fact, one could make a pretty strong argument to ditch the OJ altogether and just drink wine. So, don’t feel bad if you pop a beautiful breakfast bottle with your weekend brunch. There’s no shame in it. Even when someon …

Niks lig ’n alledaagse maaltyd soos ’n puik sous nie. Souse gee gewone, pangebraaide hoender nuwe lewe, sit woema in oondgeroosterde of gebraaide vleis en maak van pasta ’n ervaring. Kokke gebruik dikwels wyn pleks van water om sous te maak weens die geur wat dit byvoeg. Wyn is reeds sedert die tyd …
Lamb mince is usually ground from boneless leg of lamb and is therefore more expensive than most other mince options, but oh so tasty. The best you can do is to stretch it by using it as a topping for tortillas alongside a few other basic additions like hummus, fresh herbs and creamy yogurt, to turn …
I love grilling, and BBQ. There are literally hundreds of variations on all of your all-time favorite recipes, which makes recommending wines to pair with BBQ and grilled foods even more challenging than usual. There are so many things to take into consideration — ranging from spice levels to intens …
Almal het ‘n gunsteling-kerriegereg! Om jou gunsteling met ’n gepaste wyn te geniet, kan egter ’n uitdaging wees. Die speseryagtige geure van Indiese kos vind nie maklik pasmaats by rooiwyn nie, hoewel die ligter styl Beaujolais (van gamay-druiwe uit Boergondië in Frankryk), rooies uit die Loire-val …
There is nothing quite like a hearty mussel pot accompanied by a trusty South African classic, Roodeberg, to bring friends and loved ones together, especially during the summer holidays.

“Ek is gek daaroor om forel in jenewer te berei omdat dit so ’n interessante proses is,” verduidelik die sjef, Mynhardt Joubert. “Hier kan jy jou eie stempel afdruk afhangende van die speserye en mengsels wat jy gebruik. “Hierdie is my ideale kombinasie. Jy kan dit voorberei as ‘n bykos of selfs as …
Summer has arrived, and with that comes lighter dishes and white wine. If you’re like me, you will do the traditional “summer food” like salads, chicken, fish and pasta, while often adding something different, something new to the menu. – Ed. The arriving summer bounty can be used in many ways, from …
Somer en witwyn het sinoniem geword met lekker tye, en die bekendstelling van die Paul Cluver Sauvignon Blanc 2018 gaan beslis daartoe bydra dat wynliefhebbers die komende somer meer geniet, veral as mens in ag neem hoeveel mense somer ook sinoniem gemaak het met slaai. As jy jouself in die kombuis …

Paul Cluver himself loves to pair gewürztraminer with anything made with coconut cream or a note of chili or ginger. The low alcohol content and floral sweetness of the wine are the perfect antidote to chili burn! Fresh mussels steamed in white wine, then lightly simmered Thai-style in a basil-cocon …
“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw hit the nail dead centre on its head with this piece of wisdom. If you believe him and also André Simon when he writes “Wine makes every meal an occasion, every table more elegant, every day more civilized” in Co …
“Tuisgemaakte burgers is iets waarmee ek groot geword het en hierdie is vir die grootste deel my ma se resep, sê die sjef Mynhardt Joubert. “Koedoe-maalvleis werk lekker, is goedkoper as beesvleis en bowenal die perfekte pasmaat saam met Roodeberg. Dit werk ook goed wanneer jy vir baie mense moet ko …

I made this delicious linguini in a creamy roasted onion & fennel sauce with pork meatballs to pair with the De Wetshof Finesse Chardonnay. It’s the kind of dish that feels like you’re giving your body a hug from the inside and will be perfect for the coming winter months. Onions take a l …
“Everybody who walks through our doors is either already a friend or soon will be.” Based on the very friendly and professional service right from the get-go from both the staff and owners Melanie Paltoglou and Zunia Boucher-Myers of Avontuur Restaurant, and the generous portions bursting with flavo …
Food and wine pairing is a highly subjective and inexact process. The old rules — primarily red wine with red meat and white wine with fish and poultry — don’t take into consideration the complexity of today’s multi-ethnic and subtly flavoured foods and the corresponding wide range of wines from aro …
