My counterpart here at fishfinger prefers Whiskey to Brandy but for moi its the opposite cause I love me some Brandy and lord knows I'm very excited about the up coming Fine Brandy Festival taking place at the Sandton Convention Centre between 25 - 27 May 2011. More after the jump:
Savour the best that South African brandy has to offer at the Fine Brandy Festival, on at the Sandton Convention Centre from 25 to 27 May 2011.
The most stylish event on the drinks calendar is back in town, and newly revamped, this year's Fine Brandy Festival is not-to-be-missed. Brandy emerged as the sexy new drink on the block and this magnificent South African product has been hailed as the world's finest - and well-deserving a festival dedicated to the celebration of this double-distilled grape spirit.
