It’s no secret that I enjoy a glass (or three!) of wine every so often (ok, on most days!). I enjoy it even more when I’m out and about in the winelands. And we are incredibly fortunate to have so many amazing wineries within a short distance from our homes. It astounds me that after 12+ years of living in Cape Town (yes darlings, I’m a fully-fledged Capetonian), that I still haven’t been to ALL the wine estates in our beautiful province. So many wineries, so little time! But, I digress ….

As far as date night goes, hubby is quite happy for me to choose where we go. It’s not that he doesn’t care where we go, but he knows by now that being the big foodie that I am, I’ll politely listen to his suggestions but will more than likely end up choosing a different place anyway.

I’m quite happy to do this, especially when there are so many fab money-saving choices on the easy to use 2-for-1 The Entertainer app. We hadn’t used the app yet and I was keen to try it out since everyone that has it raves about it.
