How to date a superstar this December

Posted on 01. Dec, 2008 by Jonathan Cherry in Streetflava

Going on a date with a superstar is not easy.
There’s the initial uneasiness as you get used to them when they’re first presented to you. The longing glares and jealous whisperings from the guests sitting at the other tables as you savour the moment.
Stars can sometimes be a little spicy and overpowering and that’s not always a good thing in a public place. So what you’re really looking for needs to be well-balanced, easy on the tongue and smooth as a recently polished Aston Martin fender. Price can never be an issue for you, but recent prestigious award-winning will always up the game a notch or two.

If you’re up for the challenge and you think you can handle the pressure of being the envy of everyone at a world-class Cape Town culinary establishment, then we have the very last 25 bottles of the 2006 5-star Platter Eagles’ Nest Shiraz available for you to review when you enjoy an evening out at Riboville this summer.

Let’s paint the picture for you here – Riboville is literally a cathedral of the best food and wine in the heart of the Cape Town CBD. The restaurant is set in the legendary ABC Bank Building at the top end of Adderley Street. The interior is well impressive and looks like a mixture between New York’s Grand Central Station and the Waldorf Astoria. Mick Jagger would feel at home here.

The old bank vault [where they used to stash the cash back in the 70s] has been turned into the wine cellar stocked with a collection of over 600 different wines from more than 110 estates. They’ve got everything from a Mauro Veglio Barbera to Lois Roederer Cristal champagne. It’s enough to make Donald Trump’s eyes water and well worth you gathering a small team together this festive season to go check it out.

We have only 25 ‘reviewer vouchers’ for the last existing bottles of Eagles’ Nest Shiraz, which entitle you to the privilege of tasting and reviewing this fine wine when you enjoy an evening out at Riboville.

If you’d like opportunity to get hold of one of these exclusive vouchers [which can be used for the whole month of December 2008 when having lunch or dinner at Riboville], simply send an e-mail to tips [at] cherryflava [dot] com with a good motivation as to why you are capable of writing a decent review of the Eagles’ Nest Shiraz.
