    • A beer with a twist

      Castle Lager

      11 October 2003

      Once in a while a product takes you by suprise - and Castle is one that can instantly put you in its thrall. The twist with this beer is that it has a personality that goes far beyond taste. The label looks convincingly mature - the bottle feels sturdy - and it drinks that way, too, with a slightly firm froth and no floppy aromas or aftertastes. The only uniformed South African I'd ever dream of taking home - Castle is manna in a bottle !

    • Take your soul to the Golden Gate

      Golden Gate Bridge

      13 October 2003

      Ever since I was old enough to pick my favourite picture in a book, I have doted on the Golden Gate Bridge from afar. It took me a quarter of a century, and thousands of airline miles, to encounter its ruddy mass up close but it did not disappoint. I cannot live by it, but my pilgrimages will continue, on foot, by sea and on wheels. Just a tiny glimpse through the fog speaks oceans about its streamlined, functional beauty. Leave your heart in San Francisco, but take your soul to the Golden Gate.
