Posh up your table setting with this six-piece Laguiole<\/strong> steak knife block set in ivory. R899 from Woolworths.<\/p>\n We\u2019d plan a picnic simply so we could buy a set of these stainless steel, enamel coated Villa plates, bowls and mugs. Vanilla with gold rim, hard wearing, glossy … love! From R129 each from Woolworths<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Coffee parties … the next big trend<\/strong><\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t matter if we\u2019re out on a hike, throwing a picnic in the garden or at a concert-in-the-park. Coffee is essential. And we\u2019re becoming more discerning about the quality and taste of our coffee. Add to this the increasing number of people opting for sober-curious lifestyles and it\u2019s no wonder social gatherings centred around coffee are becoming so popular. So instead of a cocktail party, invite a group of friends for coffee and a chat. You could add to the fun by having a coffee tasting, with guests sampling different coffee varieties and perhaps finding a new favourite, or throw a coffee and dessert pairing party … serve a selection of sweet treats – chocolates, pastries and cakes.<\/p>\n Another growing trend is ready-to-drink beverages … so the Douwe Egberts<\/strong> introduction of their Cappuccino Break<\/strong> and Ice Mocha Latte Break<\/strong> is jolly well timed. It\u2019s a cool, energising drink without the need for brewing, so fabulous for a grab-and-go caffeine fix when you\u2019re running around town, and an essential addition to the coolerbox when you\u2019re on a road trip. You\u2019ll find them at stores including Checkers, Pick n Pay, Makro and on Takealot.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On a sunny Winter afternoon, not much beats a glass of wine, \u00a0a coffee date, making merry with a gathering with friends.

Chenin Blanc. Distinctive … and said to be the bona fide OG (Original Grape) of the South African wine industry. A newcomer on the shelves is this G.O.A.T – Greatest Of All Time Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2023.<\/strong> With white pear, quince and ripe tropical flavours on the nose, and a rich palate with fresh acidity and hints of lemon and citrus, it\u2019s lovely served as an aperitif, or paired with seafood paella, creamy pasta or a pizza. You\u2019ll find it in selected liquor outlets and online at perdeberg.co.za for R130.<\/p>\n
