Happy 4th of July!

What better way then to celebrate with some tasty treats from What Katie Ate | Apple, Ginger & Cranberry Vodka Cocktail and Home made Burgers
Yum!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day all you Leprechauns!

Another great excuse to go for a drink with my Irish friends and celebrate green little men.  Are you planning anything for St. Patrick's Day?

Drinking and eating goes hand in hand on this lovely day and What Katie Ate had the best mouthwatering ideas for my tummy:

Diemersfontein Pinotage on Tap

baFor all of you out there who enjoy this wine would agree with me, there is no better sentence than: Diemersfontein Pinotage on Tap!

I love Diemersfontein Pinotage – a smooth coffee, rolo chocolate taste in your mouth. When Hubby told me he bought tickets for this years Pinotage launch I was beyond ecstatic.

Diemersfontein on Tap was held at The Cradle Restaurant here in Johannesburg & when we arrived there were Safari Vehicles ready to transport us into the bush.  Arriving in the bush we were greeted with goodie bags that contained - most importantly - your wine glass for the day, a nice fresh sandwich, biscuits & mineral water.  Between the trees were hay bales, picnic blankets, cushions and chairs.  Pick a spot & relax. Gallons of free flowing wine, chocolate fountains with strawberries, waiters walking around with platters of canapés & delectable foods & most importantly – barrels and barrels of Pinotage ON TAP. There was also a stage with a line up of top performers… ahhhh…. Bliss….

My day started with Diemersfontein Chenin Blanc (bad idea)

Impressed with this wine I (via Hubby's credit card) purchased a case.  Smooth, Silky white wine. You know when you mix cookie dough? That sweet buttery taste you get when you lick your fingers? Yeah, that was it. Delicious, only down point to this is by the time I found my way to the Pinotage Barrels my "naughty" twin came out to play & could barely put one foot in front of the other.  Bearing my stained teeth to the world with pride, this is a wine that makes you smile.

All in all it was a great day filled with lots & lots of wine, good friends, dancing, drinking & trying to stay upright. ;-) My poor Hubby.

Sunday was awful, just awful I tell you: Headache, ego bruised, my legs bruised, eish!

Well, I will have to start training for next years Pinotage on Tap day.

Have a good week all.

Cheers!

 

Twice 30

Thank goodness it's Friday.
I love weekends & I am hungover, sigh, again.
Busy Bee came over last night to come and borrow some pretty decorations for her Big 30th Birthday party on Saturday & we decided it was a great idea drinking Dooswyn like water while packing the car. At the stroke of midnight the two of us were sitting in her candle lit garden, on a bench, singing drunkenly Happy Birthday to her, yes she was also singing Happy Birthday to herself.   We started at my house & ended in her garden?  Weird!

Tonight Hubby and myself will join our friend Princess at her lovely house for dinner to celebrate her 30th Birthday. We decided that there is no better gift to fit a princess but to buy her a nice selection of White wines, she LOVES her white wine.

I think I should invite Fat Bastard

I feel like this today:

Cheers!
