I love a cup of tea, but perhaps more than that I love a good glass of wine, so I recently caught up with Kevin Swart (owner Black Elephant Vintners) to chat about what is hip, hot & happening on the local wine scene. The days of only sipping wine around fancy dinner tables are […] Read more…
On my recent visit to Cape Town, I was lucky enough to be treated* at The Cellars-Hohenort for an afternoon of treats & eats which included their Low Carb High Tea.
