Wine, dine and all that jazz The Cape Town International Jazz Festival has trumpeted in and out of the city with much success - we bring you a gallery of all the major local and international performers and also reviews leading up to the festival in partnership with Shot'left and #CTIJF. Lauren Hartzenberg explores Cape Town on the back of a Harley Davidson, while I take to the skies to admire the city, and Cari Coetzee enjoys fine wining and dining at Tokara in Stellenbosch. In other news of the wine farm variety, I review the five-course Chef's Menu at Faber, the new restaurant at Avondale Wine Estate, and the 2017 Klink Awards winners are announced. Our top story is a review of the fabulously camp Priscilla, Queen of the Dessert. Happy weekend! Ruth Cooper, Lifestyle Editor & Production Manager (@Biz_Lounge)
