You were right @VinoColin. The wine & ice cream pairing @ClosMalverne is pure magic 🍷🍨👌 Sweet potato & dill were our faves & asked for more!

[Colin R @VinoColin]

@livingitupct It was brilliant, we didn't expect icecream and wine to work together so well @ClosMalverne have worked magic, you'll enjoy it

Fantastic lunch at @CodfatherCape in Cape Town beautiful fresh fish, cooked perfectly and washed down with a glass (or two) of Sauv. Blanc.

This delicious ruby red @KanonkopEstate is packed with ripe red fruit, slight spiciness and elegant tannins. A lovely South African #wine

I'm in South Africa on holiday, suddenly got a craving for a rare steak and a bottle of local red #wine

End of the holiday weekend, sadly. Thanks to @GravetyeManor great service & food. This Pigeon dish was spectacular.

Crisp green apple & hints of lime, this @tickeragewine English sparkling #wine is perfect for a beautiful summer day

Just checked into @GravetyeManor for the weekend. Stunning gardens to relax in, with a cooling drink of course.

@Londonglen @atulkochhar Londonglen it won't be as good as the Hydrabadi black pepper chicken I'm eating right now!

[Colin R @VinoColin]

Great morning with Michelin starred @atulkochhar learning how to cook Indian food. Hopefully I can replicate at home
