Oenophiles | Opposites | Gourmands | raconteurs
Married Two Wine was founded by two individuals passionate about wine and one another. They invite you to join their explorative and fun-filled vinous journey that will help you discover your own. Whether you just enjoy drinking a good glass of wine, want to improve your wine knowledge, wow your guests, or looking at elevating your own wine brand, we can assist.
Welcome to Married Two Wine
Yup, still relatively newlywed for less than a year now is one thing. Still exhibiting two distinctly different palates and opinions at the best of times is another. But somehow, the fact that we are so different yet deliriously happy makes us an excellent duo to guide and assist you with your food and wine experiences. We agree to disagree at times; other times, we wholeheartedly concur and relish that we can empower people to embrace their own preferences too.
Since January 2022, we joined in for some harvesting activities, bottled our own spirit, popped some Champagne in celebration of a friends’ 50th birthday at La Motte, and very randomly watched our kitten Athena befriend a Hadeda.
For April, we are featuring two distinctly different Syrah/Shiraz:
1. Trusted Favourites: Kasteelberg Shiraz 2018
2. Date Night: Bizoe Eatalét Syrah 2018
3. Sip & Savour: Thelema Chardonnay 2018
4. Vivacious Veg: Nomoya Old Vines Chenin Blanc 2021
Enjoy our food recommendations, photographs, and videos of the above, and have a wonderful Easter Time.
