Unearthed food and wine matching
My personal’wow moment’ of the evening was when I tried the New Zealand Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc with Four to Eight’s delectable Fontina Arancini (cheese and rice ball, fried in breadcrumbs).

East London Liquor Company – Discovering Drinks in the East
The East London Liquor Company. What a place to visit! A two still distillery, encased in glass as the centrepiece of an incredibly cool bar.Yes it’s East, yes it’s next to a canal, yes its industrial chic, the barman has a beard and the head distiller wears trendy spectacles.
