    I attended the opening of Harbour House in the V&A Waterfront a few weeks back and I could tell straight away it was going to be a popular spot. I wasn’t wrong as I went to try it out on a Monday night recently and it was packed. Admittedly it is December and most restaurants…

    I attended many events in 2011, but this Puma event was one of the few that impressed me. The party was part of a bigger marketing campaign and brought together various elements into this function. The primary element of the marketing campaign was the Puma entry in the Volvo Ocean race. The first leg of…

    Review Summary: You must go and see this show! I saw Phantom of the Opera for the first time at the Artscape in 2004 and I remember thinking it was the most amazing show I had ever seen. After seeing it nearly 8 years later for a 2nd time, I still think it’s the most…

    I recently judged the value component of the Top 100 SA Wine Lists competition. You may have seen my previous post with my thoughts on the competition in general. I’m not going to repeat myself, but now that the competition is over I will say that I’m happy with the way it was run and…

    On Saturday evening I attended the first Eco-Logic awards. It was held at the ICC and overall it was a top notch event which was well attended. However, there was one fundamental problem with the award, which if they address for the next awards, it will be an event well worth attending. What did I…

Christian Eedes who chaired the judging panel for the Nedbank Green Wine Awards felt that the wines were typical of any selection of…
