The Seasonal Shift: A Sartorial Journey Through Business Quarters.

The Seasonal Shift: A Sartorial Journey Through Business Quarters.

Oct 30, 2023 | Joakim, Look of the day

I am a sinner; every time April and October come around, I find myself running out of “styling time” due to involvement in business projects like business management, corporate content production, and board meetings.
Consequently, my wardrobe ends up taking a backseat. It should be a priority for me to set aside a day to bring in the upcoming quarter’s collection from my own warehousing.

The last glimpse of the second and third quarters is when pink goes well with navy blue, reminding me of an English summer. Every time, I’m amazed by the color combinations. I look at this picture for so long that I almost believe this time will come back tomorrow. But with the first and third quarters ahead of us, we now move into the time of tweed and earth colors. And we will usher in a splendid era featuring crochet ties crafted from wool and cashmere, a choice that epitomizes the eccentric way to be.

Introducing Allesverloren Tinta Barocca: A Unique South African Wine Experience

Introducing Allesverloren Tinta Barocca: A Unique South African Wine Experience

Apr 30, 2023 | I present to you

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with privilege and great honour that I present to you Allesverloren Tinta Barocca.

A renowned South African producer offers this red wine made from an unconventional grape for most people. The wine boasts a spicy flavour with oak undertones, featuring notes of blackberries, plums, dark cherries, chocolate, allspice, and coffee. Best served at 16-18°C, it pairs well with lamb or beef dishes.

Tinta Barroca wines are characterised by their deep colour and hints of cherries, plums, chocolate, and sweet tones. Although primarily grown in Portugal, the grape is also cultivated in South Africa, where it was once used for port-style wines. Allesverloren, a winery in South Africa’s Swartland region, pioneered the first single-varietal wine using the Portuguese grape. Tinta Barroca wines feature a rich colour, notes of cherry, plum, chocolate, and a sweetish tone. The alcohol content is relatively high, and the wine exhibits soft tannins and, at times, a festive spice nuance.
