In MENU This Week. A Day at Spier, Kama Sushi, Trophy Wine Show

Cape grey mongoose (Herpestes pulverulentus)

The disruptions continue. With “load-shedding” at level four, we now have eight hours a day without electricity. It gives us an idea of how our ancestors lived two hundred years ago. With all this, we have had alarm installer’s technicians in the house for two days in the past week, putting back the system broken by the burglars last month. We’ve also had some very heavy rain, the wettest day we’ve recorded in 18 years; this has been great for the garden and filled the fish pond very nicely. The koi loved it. On the bright side, we are fit and well and post-Covid life is returning to normal. We hope it is also being good for you.

A day at Spier Wine Estate

We love Spier's mission statement on their web site; it really resonates with us. And we saw what they are doing when we visited this week. "Ethical farming, the health of the soil and the people who work it. Artistic endeavour and absolute care in the crafting of our wines. This is what matters to us." We were invited to arrive at 12h15 and presumed we would be having a wine tasting and some lunch.. It turned out to be a day filled with delights. Read on…

Father's Day Sushi Lunch

Across Regent Road from Checkers in Sea Point is Kama our favourite sushi restaurant. The Chinese owner used to be further up in Sea Point with a restaurant of a different name and we were glad to see that he survived the Covid lock down and has moved to a nicer part of Sea Point. It is our go to place for good sushi, whether we take it home or eat there, and we thoroughly recommend it. The rice is perfect, so pearly, and the fish is always fresh. And they always have a good special on offer. They also do some dim sum dishes, which we cannot resist, Chinese food, Poke bowls and salads. We went there on Father's Day to spoil John and took his daughter, Clare. Read on…

The Trophy Wine Show Judges’ Feedback

This year, The Trophy Wine Show Judges’ Feedback Session was in the form of a webcast, on Thursday 16 June, from 11h00 – 12h00. The session took place directly after the completion of the Trophy judging. While it would have been wonderful to meet again in person with media and the wine industry, due to certain circumstances, the judging took place in the week of the public holiday, and a live-streamed event offers the best solution. The link to the webcast is here. Read on…
