Awarding kiffness

The last couple of days have seen a flurry of foodie and wine awards taking place; we congratulate the winners of the Cape Legends Inter Hotel Challenge, The Diners Club Winelist Award winners and the winner of the S.Pellegrino Young Chef regional challenge!

In other top story news, Pasqua Heard interviews The Kiffness about their recent LGBT pro music video and gets an update on the Woolies mannequin debacle. Jessica Tennant interviews The Creamery Queen, Kate Schrire, for #WomensMonth and Leigh Andrews reports back on a stay at the prestigious Leeu House.

And we've got two tickets up for grabs for the Winelands Chocolate Festival!

P.S. Happy partying to all those attending Oppikoppi!
