Exclusive interview
You’ve had a long radio career? Well I started at my university’s radio station (RAU Radio), went on to Edgars Radio and Highfeld FM for some time before moving to 2 Oceans Vibe Radio. I started my first radio show at the age of 17 and was the youngest DJ on 94.7 at the time in a very deathly 1:00-4:00am slot.
“I’ve made a list of the farms that I’d absolutely love to visit, but it seems to be taking me quite some time to tick them off.”
I do enjoy white wine… I’m starting to enjoy red far more than I used to as I think my palate is maturing. Over the past 18 months it’s been distinctly obvious how my taste has changed. I remember when I was younger, it was a case of the sweeter, the better, but if I think about that now, I cringe to imagine how I drank it. Now I really enjoy a good glass of Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay and when it comes to red wine, I’m slowly still getting into it and mostly tend to enjoy Merlots. Have you visited any wine farms? Spier, whilst I know it’s pretty standard, it’s also really very beautiful. A few weeks ago we went to Delaire Graff, which was absolutely stunning. That, by far, has been my favourite. Which other farms are still on your list?
Do you have any preference between white or red?
Well, I like to do things that have stories attached.
