4. Miguel Chan
In a dark basement under a Tsogo Sun Hotel sits a man behind rows of reds. In his hand, a half filled glass of wine. With immense consentration he gazes at the glass while holding it up to the flickering light bulb. He lowers the glass, swirl it, sniff it and move it to his lips for a slow sip. A smile that can make coffee nervous appears on his face as he jumps up and shouts “Miguel, tonight you SCORE!”

With more shows than The Simpsons, Eedes stabs winemakers dreams to pieces daily on his blog whatIdranklastnight.co.za. Backed by banking high rollers, and regularly mistaken for a more famous lead singer, this is one man you do not want to headbutt.

1. Vino Libre
Oh, You Didnt Know? Your Ass Better Call Somebody! I can still remember tasting with Robert Parker Junior, or was it Robert Downey Junior, when he said “Vino my man, your palate is sharper than that goddamn splinter I’ve got stuck in my throat”. I nodded “You know Robert, the lord bestowed a wonderful gift upon my amazing tongue and I intent to use it.”
