Fizz and Rock ‘n’ Roll this Father’s Day – Sunday 19 June 2022

This Father’s Day, why not treat music and champagne lovers to a Champagne Charles Orban, Cuveé Roger Daltrey bottle, and two stemless champagne glasses featuring the Who’s bullseye logo.

This Champagne is using the band’s trademark bullseye symbol incorporated as part of the design on the label and artist Mike McInnerny’s famous Tommy album artwork. The Champagne is a collaboration between Roger Daltrey and Eminent Wines, introduced to celebrate the band’s 50th anniversary, and is the official Champagne of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

All of Roger’s proceeds from the sale of the Champagne head to Teen Cancer America – a charity founded by Roger Daltrey and fellow band member, lead guitarist, and songwriter Pete Townsend – and support Teenage Cancer Trust in the UK.

Roger Daltrey, founding member and frontman of this iconic rock band and father to eight children, will kick off his delayed UK tour on Monday, 20 June 2022, the day after Father’s Day, as well as touring The Who USA tour.

Jerome Jacober, Founder and CEO of Eminent Wines, commented, “At Eminent Wines, we celebrate excellence in music and the Arts in creating limited edition drinks inspired by legendary artists. Roger
is no exception and is an icon in rock music. What better way to celebrate Father’s Day and Rock ‘n’ Roll than with a glass of the award-winning Champagne Charles Orban, Cuveé Roger Daltrey!”

Produced by Charles Orban Champagne – a family vineyard since 1770 located in the village of Troissy on the left bank of the Marne – the Champagne is made from a subtle blend of three grape varieties – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. The Cuveé represents a perfect expression of these three varieties and has a creamy texture with fine, lively bubbles, and received a rating of 90 (outstanding) from Wine Spectator.

Father’s Day OFFER:

A bottle of Champagne Cuveé Roger Daltrey 75cl, £95.00

A pair of bespoke, stemless champagne glasses, £30.00 for the pair

Available to buy at Eminent Wines, https://www.eminentwines.com/roger-daltrey

FATHER’S DAY OFFER – Purchase Champagne and glasses for £100.00

The offer runs from 1 May 2022 to 30 June 2022. See the website for T&Cs

Please enter code ‘ROCKNROLLDAD22’ at the checkout stage

As you would expect from the singer of a band famed for setting the benchmark for rock ‘n’ roll, the Champagne has gone through rigorous testing and tasting, with Daltrey involved at every stage of its three-year process to fruition.

Daltrey said, “Charles Orban is a grower-producer in the Marne Valley, and the Champagne is authentic and unique, which is important to me. They have a long history since 1770, so only the best last long, like The Who.”

Read on to find out more!

Ethical Running Gifts for Dads


It can be hard to find the perfect gift for your dad, especially if he loves to stay active. If your dad loves running, why not show him you care this Father’s Day with a thoughtful and ethical running gift?

Not only will a great running gift keep Dad on track and motivated to reach his goals, but when you choose an ethical option, you can rest assured knowing that your present has been made ethically, sustainably and with love.
Here are some top picks for ethical running gifts to give your Dad this Father’s Day:

• Recycled Running Shoes: There are a lot of companies that make shoes out of recycled materials. Whether it’s plastic bottles or old fishing nets – these shoes are designed to be lightweight and breathable for maximum performance.
• Ethical Apparel: Look for apparel made from recycled fabrics, such as recycled plastic water bottles or even bamboo! These materials are sustainable and don’t require any harsh chemical treatments in their production.
• Insulated Water Bottle: An insulated water bottle is essential for staying hydrated as you run – but why not make it ethical? Look for BPA-free options free from phthalates, lead and other potentially hazardous chemicals.

With these ethical running gifts, your dad will indeed feel the love this Father’s Day!

Sport and Outdoors Skincare for Active Dads
Everyone knows that active fathers need to take special care of their skin. Whether your dad likes to surf, ski, bike, or climb, the sun, wind, and dirt can take their toll on his skin.
So instead of giving him an essential skincare set this Father’s Day, why not give him an ethical sport and outdoors skincare set? Plenty of organic and natural skincare products are available to protect your dad’s skin while he enjoys his hobbies.

Look for a skincare brand made with ingredients like borage oil, shea butter, aloe vera, and vitamin E, which will help keep your dad’s skin nourished and moisturised when spending time outdoors.
You can also find water-resistant sunscreen with no sting for extra protection from the sun’s rays.

These skincare products are better for protecting your dad’s skin and for the environment than conventional skincare products. Be sure to look for brands committed to sustainability and ethical sourcing, helping you give a gift that gives back this Father’s Day!

Gifts to Keep Dad Cool During Summer Workouts
Looking for a practical yet ethical Father’s Day gift that dad can use to stay cool during his summer workouts? Look no further! Here are a few gift ideas to keep dad cool and comfortable this summer.
Moisture-wicking clothing
Gifting dad moisture-wicking clothes are one of the best Father’s Day gifts for active dads. This type of clothing is designed to keep sweat away from the body and evaporate it quickly, helping to keep him comfortable while he exercises.

Reflective gear and sunglasses
Another great Father’s Day gift idea is reflective gear or sunglasses. Reflective gear helps keep dad visible to drivers or fellow bikers, joggers, or hikers when exercising outdoors at night. Sunglasses will also help protect his eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays, ensuring that he stays safe when he’s out on his outdoor excursions!

Stylish Outdoor Apparel for Active Dads
The great thing about the active dad in your life is that they are probably always up for trying something new or going on a new adventure. Give them a stylish outdoor apparel gift they’ll love to wear while exploring.

Gifting outdoor apparel can help them stay safe and comfortable while exploring the great outdoors. Look for fabrics that provide a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating of 50+ to protect against harmful UV rays from the sun and are also moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and highly breathable. Here are some items you could consider:

• UPF-rated shirts
• Breathable waterproof jackets
• Fast drying shorts
• Breathable hiking socks
• Moisture-wicking base layers
• Comfortable trail shoes

These items will be not only kind to the environment because of their sustainable fabrics but also look stylish and will make great ethical gifts that your active dad can enjoy for a long time.

Unique Outdoor Accessories to Enhance Any Activity
If you’re looking for a unique and ethical Father’s Day gift for the active dad in your life, look no further than outdoor accessories! Whether he loves hiking, cycling, camping, or any other outdoor activity, plenty of unique options can improve his next adventure.

• An insulated water bottle keeps drinks cold or hot, depending on what’s needed.

HELP BEAT PAIN AND STRESS BLUES WITH NEW LONG-LASTING CBD PATCH
Reap the benefits of CBD with reliable and practical everyday patches

Dragonfly Biosciences, makers of the much loved proven seed-to-shelf CBD range of tinctures and skincare range, has launched a New 20mg CBD Infused Skin Patches. The Dragonfly Biosciences NEW CBD Infused Skin Patches offer a convenient and long lasting way to experience the effects of CBD – a natural plant compound that has been touted for its stress, anxiety and pain relieving properties.

Dragonfly’s New discreet CBD Infused Skin Patches have been designed to be worn all day, as they slowly release CBD into the bloodstream. Plus, they are infused with bergamot essential oil, the aromatherapeutic benefits of which have been shown to help reduce stress and anxiety for a feeling of general wellbeing that lasts through the day.

CBD Benefits
Dr Tim Bond says: “Various studies have found CBD, which goes by the scientific name of Cannabidiol, may help reduce chronic pain by affecting endocannabinoid receptor activity, reducing inflammation, and interacting with neurotransmitters in the brain.” Plus, research has found CBD to be helpful in treating anxiety and depression-like symptoms[1].

CBD has increasingly made headlines over recent years; it is just one of the 113 identified cannabinoids (cannabis compounds) naturally found in the Cannabis sativa L. plant.

“However, rest assured that in contrast to the more commonly known cannabinoid, THC, CBD is non-psychotropic and has a number of unique properties,” says Dr Bond.

Using the NEW patches
Wearing the NEW Dragonfly CBD Infused Skin Patches is easy to do. Simply unpeel the patch and apply to clean and dry skin. It doesn’t matter what time of day you choose to wear these patches as they can be applied in the morning or night for up to 24 hours use. The patch can also be worn during sleep as well and it’s water resistant.

Unlike other patches, Dragonfly Biosciences’ CBD Infused Skin Patches deliver the full 20mg of CBD per patch with use. Plus, the patches release ingredients into the bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal system to optimise the benefits of CBD.
With other brands, there can be absorption into the gauze or materials which means you may not experience the full 20mg of CBD.

Speaking of today’s growing CBD market, Dr Tim Bond says it can be hard to know which brands to trust.
“Dragonfly Biosciences is a fully integrated company owning farms and managing the delivery of premium, organic CBD products from our fields to your hands.”

To help instil a sense of calm into your day, Dragonfly Biosciences recommends that you start the day by taking your preferred Dragonfly CBD oil with your breakfast, applying the patch, and wearing it all through the day, aiming for 12 to 24 hours of wear.

Then, finish the day with a few drops of your favourite Dragonfly CBD oil again, enjoying the benefit of having CBD in your body consistently through the day.
For safety, it’s recommended that you do not exceed three patches per day, which equates to a total of 60mg of CBD each day.

All from Leslie’s.

Sporty Dad – he’s competitive, likes a great game and having fun playing with his kids!
Gift him with an aquatic version of classic backyard games such as volleyball, basketball, and Frisbee® golf. There are even inflatable corn hole and Lacrosse games.

Motor-Head Dad – he loves all thing motorized and even in the pool!
Check out this motorized pool lounger.

Lounger Dad – his second job is relaxing and on anything possible: couch, his fave chair, patio furniture and in the pool! This pool float was designed just for him.

Beer-Loving Dad – enough said! Leslie’s offers two beer mug-themed floats.

Techie Dad – the pool must be cleaned and why not by the “Roomba for the Pool” – automatic pool cleaners that can be automated and operated from a smartphone via Bluetooth. See the full Leslie’s lineup of robotic pool cleaners and this one, which is a top seller.

Perfect Pool Water Dad: For the water chemistry nerd, get him a membership for the new AccuBlue Home water test and treatment service. It offers the same comprehensive water testing technology as Leslie’s in-store AccuBlue total solution, now in an easy-to-use, sleek at-home testing device that is integrated with the Leslie’s app. This service is due to launch later in May, just in time for Dad’s Day – let me know if you want more details on this exciting new service.

Eco-Friendly Dad: As this dad cares for the pool, he wants to save energy, water, chemical and the planet. According to a recent Harris Poll, 61% of Americans don’t even know eco-friendly pool care exists. Maybe even this dad. So, impress him with an eco-friendly pool care gift.
The average pool loses about one-quarter inch of water per day during summertime heat, which adds up. In certain regions of the nation, there can be even more water loss. Solar covers are thin plastic covers that come in a range of sizes and shapes to fit any size pool and protect against evaporation.
Chlorine is the most common pool sanitizer, but in order to use less of it while still maximizing chlorine’s sanitizing power, pool owners can add triple-action, enzyme-based products weekly to their pool. These natural chemistry-based products reduce phosphates — the food for algae — to prevent algae growth and maximize chlorine so you use less.

Waterford has revolutionised the whisky-making process by implementing a ground-breaking digital logistical system. As a result, each bottle of Waterford whisky embodies the unique character that is shaped by the micro-climate and soil of the farm where the barley was grown.
To enhance the whisky-drinking experience even further, Waterford has included a distinctive TÉIREOIR code on every bottle. This code leads to an online portal that provides a wealth of information, including details about the distillation process, grower information, maps of the farm, and even photography of the harvest. So, not only can you taste the terroir in every sip, but you can also learn about the story behind it.
So, if you’re looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift, why not raise a glass of Waterford to the man who raised you?

Enjoy a moo-ving experience at Vergelegen’s Nguni Café

Enjoy a moo-ving experience at Vergelegen’s Nguni Café
Brace yourselves, burger enthusiasts, as a tantalising treat is about to take your taste buds on a wild adventure! Vergelegen wine estate in Somerset West has relaunched its famous Nguni Café pop-up, an extraordinary culinary experience in the great outdoors.
Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Hottentots Holland mountain range, this limited-time gem is installed in a 400-hectare farm field. Guests can view the estate’s magnificent Nguni herd, numbering around 400 indigenous cattle, which graze freely on the green pastures adjacent to the pop-up.
“We’ve installed a glass conservatory, flanked with hay bales, and furnished it to enhance the Nguni theme. It’s a welcoming blend of country charm and modern flair,” says Vergelegen MD Wayne Coetzer. “It certainly promises to change the way you perceive the humble hamburger.”
This limited-time restaurant emphasises quality ingredients and excellent service. It’s designed to entice both seasoned burger aficionados, and families in search of a value-for-money meal in relaxed surroundings.
You can sink your teeth into juicy beef, chicken or vegetarian patties set in freshly baked buns, served with chips (R120). Dessert is a soft serve (R30), alternatively ice cream with a chocolate brownie (R60). Children aged 10 years and under can enjoy a kiddies’ burger and chips for R80.
Beer, wine, soft and hot drinks are available.
“Our pop-up restaurant offers more than just a meal in the great outdoors. It’s a gathering place for friends, families and burger enthusiasts to come together, share stories, and create good memories,” says Coetzer.
The restaurant is open till end-July, Wednesdays to Sundays, 10h00-16h00, on a first come, first served basis (no bookings.) There is indoor seating for 30 people and outdoor deck seating capacity for 70.
An added bonus is that calving season has started, so children can spot the Nguni calves among the adult cattle.
Follow Nguni Cafe on social media and visit the website https://vergelegen.co.za
NOTE TO EDITORS
Vergelegen broke new culinary ground in July 2021 with its first Nguni Café, a gourmet hot dog café set in the scenic surroundings of its cattle pastures. This pop-up – launched during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown when hospitality establishments could again welcome sit-down guests and offer on-site wine consumption – immediately attracted numerous visitors who soon spread the word about its great location, value for money, excellent service and rural vibe. The current Nguni Café builds on this initial success.

With Father’s Day and Men’s Health month coming together in June it’s the perfect time to talk about men’s digestive healthy and giving the Dads their time back and really, does Dad really need another golf club or PJ’s?
What about the gift of good gut health this Father’s Day? What about a PROPPR toilet foot stool?! Quirky we know, but read on to find out why this could be the perfect gift for that special someone in your life. Or for yourself if you are taking more notice of your self-care game this year? Did you know that only 1 in 4 people prioritize their gut health… we think we can do better than that!
Not only is the PROPPR toilet foot stool a great way to improve gut health, it’s also an excellent way to promote better posture and alignment while sitting on our ‘thrones’, aka the western pedestal toilet. Whether you or your loved one suffers from (now very common) gut health issues like constipation, haemorrhoids, or IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome); or they just want an easier and more comfortable bathroom experience, this stool is sure to make a world of difference to the ‘king’ of your heart and family!
Benefits of Using a Toilet Foot Stool
There are many benefits of using a toilet foot stool, including:
1. Better elimination. When you use a toilet foot stool, you’re able to bring your knees up higher than your hips, which opens up your sigmoid colon and makes it easier and faster to eliminate waste.
2. Increased comfort. Toilet foot stools also help to reduce strain on your back and legs when you’re on the toilet, making for a more comfortable experience overall. This is especially important for those with lower back pain which can cause constipation.
3. Improved gut health. By improving your elimination, a toilet foot stool can also help improve your detoxification pathways by ensuring unwanted toxins and bacteria leave your body.
4. A natural way to boost energy levels. When your gut is healthy and functioning properly, it can lead to increased energy levels as well as improved mood and concentration.
5. Easy to use, and a once-off purchase. Toilet foot stools are a simple and effective way to improve your bathroom experience; and they’re easy to use – simply place them in front of your toilet before you go!
We believe the PROPPR is the best choice of toilet foot stool for a number of reasons. First, it helps to position your body in a way that optimizes elimination. This means that you can eliminate more waste with less effort, which is important for gut health. Second, the PROPPR is made from durable materials that are designed to last. And third, it looks great! This toilet foot stool is designed to both ‘do the job’ and look great in any bathroom.
Give Dad the gift that will keep on giving…and releasing day after day.

Croft Sherry has partnered with Great British Bake Off star Sandro Farmhouse to beat the heat this summer with delicious food and drink recipes. Together, Croft and Sandro have developed easily accessible recipes that are sure to elevate at-home alfresco get-togethers.
Tapping into the trend for longer, lighter spritz-style drinks, Sandro’s Croft Summer Spritzer pairs bright pineapple and citrus fruits with the refreshingly crisp, balanced Croft Original, topped with sparkling wine for a delicate fizz. Perfect for a pitcher, this is the ultimate refresher to wow friends with at garden gatherings.
To complement, Sandro’s Al Fresco Bruschetta mirrors the flavours of the spritzer. It is drizzled with pineapple-infused hot honey – with a splash of Croft as the special ingredient. To cater for all diets and preferences, it can easily be prepared as vegan-friendly, or without chilli for those who prefer less heat.
Sandro Farmhouse, said: “These recipes were inspired by the goal to welcome the sunshine back into our lives. Both the spritzer and the bruschetta feature bright, summery flavours and colours, as well as the mellow, crisp undertones of Croft Original. Despite looking impressive when served up, the best part is that they’re so easy to whip up for any host, no matter how experienced.”

2. Sieve the honey to remove all the chillies and discard them.

4. Return the honey to the pan, add the pineapple, cook for a further 2 minutes then remove from the heat and allow it to cool down.

Making the bruschetta:
5. Preheat the grill until hot, slice the ciabatta and toast on both sides until golden and almost charred.
6. Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters, cut the peeled and skinless orange wedges in quarters and finely slice the red onion.
7. Add it all to a mixing bowl with a drizzle of the olive oil, a pinch of salt, pepper, oregano, and dried parsley. Give it a mix to coat, cover and rest in the fridge until ready to use.
8. Add the crushed garlic to the butter and mix well.
9. Spread the garlic butter on the grilled slices of ciabatta, add a spoon full of the tomato and orange mix and garnish with very small tsp of the hot honey pineapple, fresh mint and a couple of cubes of Goats cheese for an optional savoury element

founder of the award-winning Nantucket Golf Club, the largest, single donor to the University of Rochester AND father of three, grandfather
to eight, Ed Hajim brings us an inspirational book in time for FATHER’S DAY. _The Island of the Four P’s_ [1] is the latest from Ed, best known for his timeless memoir_ On the Road Less Traveled_.

Ed shares a beautiful fable stemming from his Four Ps: Partners, Principles Passions and Plans. This time, he’s imparting his 86 years

Ed’s Four Ps have become his inner voice – his gauge to creating a life that started as an abandoned little boy, tossed between
orphanages and foster homes to breaking that cycle with education and time in the Navy using his ongoing discipline and self-determination
to become a tremendous success on Wall Street, married for some 57-years, with three grown children and eight grandchildren – and Ed
Hajim has created a huge legacy including devoting resources to support students to become scholars – as he believes education is everything. edhajim.com

Ed says, his Four Ps will guide you – as they always have him -no matter the adversity, disappointment, the unexpected and even what stage you are in life – they will still ground you and help you make choices to answer the question he constantly asks, what’s next?
