#WineRoutingWithLloyd - Father's Day with Flagstone Wines


This Father's Day, let him have the Last Word...

Let's be honest, our Dad's play an influential role in shaping our life, from a very young age. Subtly, influencing our personalities & steadily weathering our moods & emotions as we grow older. I know my childhood & adolescence was puntuated by my Dad's final say.

On my recent #WineRoutingWithLloyd trip, I discovered Flagstone's Last Word Fortified Wine. And what a perfect fit. And it's only now that I realised that this would make a spirited geture & gift for Father's Day; and here is why.


A warm rub-red colour. Spicy. Toasty Oak Notes & Dark Fruit Bouquets. A Sweet Eccentricity with a Gentleman's demeanour. The Last Word just has a real 'Dad' feel to it. I even got to share a glass of this beautiful wine with my Father at Flagstone Wines! How wonderfully everything comes together. 


Made by weaving the ethereal flavours & aromas of fermentation into the typically dense complex & tannic structure of all Flagstone handmade reds. (These wines are known to have an incredible form, exhibiting the fruits of a Pinotage, with a note of sweetness that just adds a final flourish to that special moment.)

A bright red sapphire colour on the edges, flowing into a dark & intense ruby red. With aromas of ripe, dark red fruit, cocoa & toasty vanilla. Wrapped in a warm, spicy oak flavours of cinnamon & nutmeg. In your mouth you get sweet red berries & dried apricots & peaches, whilst the sweet plum fruit compote lingers & ends off with a comforting warm sensation. Imagine this with some chocolate covered figs, fresh biscotti & Gorgonzola cheese.

Sounds delightful now doesn't it?

And guess what? I've got 2 bottles of this beauty to give away for Father's Day so that you can let your Dad have the Last Word too.

Father's Day Rosebank Mall Gift Guide

One of my favourite malls to go to, would definitely be Rosebank Mall in Johannesburg. 

And with Father's Day around the corner, I decided to pop in at some of the stores, with Hello Joburg Magazine, to check out what they have and to get something special for my Dad to add some items to my #HelloRecommends Father's Day Gift Guide.

Now lets be honest, majority of us can 'classify' our fathers in one or more of these categories. So to make it even easier; here is a quick and easy gifting guide for those of you, who have yet to go grab something for your dad and need a bit of help to see what's out at Rosebank Mall.


The Corporate:


@Home - Slanted Decanter with 6 Tumblers: R439.00
The Gadget Shop - Magnetic Hourglass: R299.00
Jones & Kent - Florsheim Blue Suede Shoes: R2,550.00
The Sports Fanatic:

@Home - "Cookie Pocket" Mug: R75.00

No matter what 'type' of man your father is, I believe that every man needs to be well groomed and look after his appearance. And that is why a visit to Sorbet Man in Rosebank Mall is never a bad idea. Book your dad for a haircut, a shave or a manli-cure to clean him up and looking clean and fresh this Father's Day. Check out their full list of treatments and services here. (They do a whole lot more than what you are expecting. So seriously, check out that list.)
