Making Kitsch…very, very cool!

No Comments

Bartending as a career has really taken off, and competitions such as Protégé and World Class are providing platforms for talent to shine and helping to launch people like Julian Short, owner of Sin + Tax, into the limelight they so deserve. Julian’s highlight for the year is being able to support not one, but two salaried professional barmen at his establishment. His eyes light up when he says, “A few years back there was no way you’d have been able to make a career out of bartending in the South African bar industry as a mixologist.” Innovation is the key to Julian’s success, coupled with the growing range of seriously mixable, premium brands becoming available in South Africa. Reinventing the kitsch cocktails of the seventies and eighties using fresh ingredients that subtly enhance the handcrafted base spirits is resulting in a cocktail revolution in South African bars and restaurants.…

What better way to experience great wine than with ‘The Mentors’

No Comments

We love good wine, and sharing good wine with friends and family, but an experience with the aptly named KWV collection titled ‘The Mentors’ is one that you will certainly not forget. Studying anything from a Mentor is always a great idea, and when it comes to wine drinking, we support this theory 100%! The winemaking team at KWV, under the guidance of wine maker Izele van Blerk realised that the boundary-breaking approach in The Mentors cellar was leading to remarkable terroir-driven wines that deserved their own spot light from the other KWV offerings. The first wines were bottled in 2006, but it was in 2009 that The Mentors range prepared it’s wings for flight. Although they now produce a staple portfolio of eight wines, the winemaking team have the enviable freedom of pursuing innovative new varietals and blends from every harvest – taking their cue from the vineyards.

Moschino & DSquared2 For Hydraulics

No Comments

The Hydraulics concept store in Sandton City is proud to announce they are officially the exclusive stockists of international luxury brands, Moschino and DSquared2 menswear apparel. The store’s directors, Matthew & Dylan Bolus started feeling the need to service more customers with sought after luxury brands that aren’t available in South Africa, saying, “We are known as a denim multi-brand store so we asked ourselves what denims would we love to own and the answer was simple, it had to be DSquared2” said Matthew, before further adding, “Our decision to go for Moschino was slightly different. We needed another ready to wear brand that people all knew and had a history but no presence in South Africa. Jeremy Scott has completely transformed the brand in the last few years and made the product “cool” again.” Moschino was originally created in 1983 by the late Franco Moschino (1950–1994). Moschino and his…
