New look, same allure: David Higgs has reopened the ultra chic Zioux as a celebration of Asian cuisine, with a guiding hand from chef Katsuhiko Miyamoto. Aside from exceptional food, there’s a substantial sake offering, and from Wikus Human, an excellent wine list. #DRLW
Recent #DRLW adventures: new Allesverloren Cape Vintage (and a great family story), 30-year-old Chateau Libertas still bursting with life, Rust en Vrede Wine Estate echoing Angela Lloyd’s belief that local wine can drink beautifully while young, and a vintage cellar discovery… #DRLW
Landmark evening at Heirloom at the Cape Grace, A Fairmont Managed Hotel: after 30-odd years of accompanying all meals with Spiced Gold and Coke, comedian and director Stuart Taylor has his first ever wine pairing dinner at the age of 51. Vintage Charles Fox a particular delight… #DRLW
Morning adventures at The Oyster Box: discovering a cupboard laden with vintage Bordeaux (Lafite, Margaux, Rothschild), and an ‘05 magnum of vilafonté, plus some older Bouchard Finlayson that turned into lunch… #DRLW
Greek Easter celebrations: from magnums of 2015 Holden Manz Estate Big G, and Tokara Wine & Olive Farm’s beautifully balanced sauvignon blanc/semillon blend, to outstanding Santorini assyrtiko from Argyros, and a happy discovery in a small town Free State bottle store from Neil Ellis Wines. #DRLW
A little Sauvignon Blanc SA celebration for the grape’s very own day - Kevin Arnold finding himself quite at home with vines from Agulhas Wine Triangle. Happy sauvignon blanc day!
Lunchtime reds for a warm autumn day at Saint. The gentle delight of Marelise Niemann grenache to ease into the afternoon, and then Beaumont Family Wines Dangerfield syrah, elegant and restrained, but more than up to the challenge of David Higgs’s signature Fiorentina steak. #DRLW
