Restaurants in winter are such a vibe. Don\u2019t you just love listening to the crackling of the fire, the smell of wood smoke filling the air, and coffee brewing or a great glass of red being poured? They’re warm, cosy, and the service is top-notch.<\/p>\n
But, on a side note, do you want to know my biggest pet peeve? Drinking delicious wine out of crappy glasses. Glassware is more important than we realise. It can change our entire enjoyment of the wine inside it. The right glass opens a wine up; the wrong one shuts it down completely. Thankfully, the restaurants I’ve been visiting are getting this right, glassware and all.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’ve been checking out the wine lists in all my favourite restaurants in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pretoria (sorry, Durban, I haven’t made it out to you this winter yet!) and the wines on the lists are getting better with each passing week.<\/p>\n
There’s such a variety of wines, styles and producers on the lists \u2013 it’s heaven for diners. If you stick with me for the duration of this article, I’ll take you through some of my favourites.<\/p>\n
Once my table is booked<\/a>, the real fun begins: the wine list.<\/p>\n
