Durban - It’s great to know you don’t have to be posh and charge the credit card or take a second bond to drink fine wines at some of your favourite haunts.
The KwaZulu-Natal Diners Club winelist awards were announced recently and the good news is the winners are not all those big haughty establishments one’s afraid to set foot in.
In fact, my favourite beach shack scooped platinum. Fancy a burger and chips with that excellent cab sav? But then it’s not just any old burger and chips.
So well done to all the worthy winners.
