Those who know me, know I have a cocktail repertoire of pretty much 2 drinks, the Negroni and the Old Fashioned. Now, Negronis are often reserved for summer, while Old Fashioneds are reserved for Friday nights at The House of Machines, or any long night at home. Something tells me that's all about to change, not much, … Continue reading WMBW Drinks – The Boulevardier
WMBW Eats – Camissa Brasserie
It's not every day you get invited for lunch at one of Cape Town's landmark hotels. So when the Table Bay hotel told me they had a couple of bottles of GH Mumm on ice, for me and a couple of friends, I didn't really give it a second thought. Truth be told, I barely gave … Continue reading WMBW Eats – Camissa Brasserie
WMBW Drinks – Old Fashioned
The old Fashioned is hands down, my favourite drink. It wasn't always, in fact it used to be beer. Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while will know that it was introduced to me by Nic Koumbarakis on my first visit to The House Of Machines. My first sip literally … Continue reading WMBW Drinks – Old Fashioned
WMBW Drinks – How to Order
An Asutralian walks into a bar and asks the "what beer do you have"? No, this is not the start of a lame joke, though it is funny, in an awkward way. A friend of mine walked into an old New York bar - the name escapes me - it was some fancy place in an even … Continue reading WMBW Drinks – How to Order
WMBW Drinks – Snow at Outrage of Modesty
When you walk into Outrage of Modesty you cant help but shake that "where the f*ck am I" feeling. But I kinda think that's what the guys at Alliance Brands were going for. Yep. The same guys responsible for The House of Machines have taken on a new adventure called Outrage of Modesty. At it's heart, OoM is … Continue reading WMBW Drinks – Snow at Outrage of Modesty
Drinks at Potato Head Beach Club
This is the entrance to one of the most amazing places Ive ever been. Pretty epic uh? I didn't quite know wether this post fell under travel, drinking or eating (so I tagged all 3) But I knew it was an experience definitely worth sharing. During our recent trip to Bali (that post is on … Continue reading Drinks at Potato Head Beach Club
WMBW Drinks – The Singapore Sling
In case you missed it, Elzaan and I got back from a mini vacation a couple of weeks ago. Singapore was one of our destinations and the Singapore Sling sat pretty high up on our to do list. As far as cocktails go, this one is pretty old (well, not this exact one. These were … Continue reading WMBW Drinks – The Singapore Sling
Essential No 8 – The cocktail set
Up until now, my essentials collection has been based very much around fashion essentials, the kind of garments and accessories that build a gentleman's wardrobe to last beyond trends. However, as we decided in early 2015, there is more to being a gentleman than lapel flowers and well laced brogues. A gentleman needs to be worldly … Continue reading Essential No 8 – The cocktail set
WMBW Eats and Drinks – Barley & Biltong
A little while back I did my first ever real travel review of the Rico Suter Country House, about 2 hours outside of Cape Town, great little place, go take a read if you haven't. Anyway, on our way back home from our weekend away we decided to take a little turn at the Spice … Continue reading WMBW Eats and Drinks – Barley & Biltong
WMBW in 2015
WOW. Its been exactly 2 months since I last posted. Sorry. Now, its not entirely that I just got lazy and decided to take a vacation from blogging (we all need a break) but its also that I wanted 2015 to start a new chapter, or at the very least a new menu item within … Continue reading WMBW in 2015
