My grandfather, who passed away at the age of 92. He was the most hard-working man I have ever known, besides my Dad, of course! From a young age, he instilled so many core values and ethics into my life. He really believed in me and a lot of what he said about my future has surprisingly come true. He was just a truly wonderful man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What time do you wake up and what is the first thing you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I wake up at 06:00 and the first thing that I do is snooze my alarm clock for another five minutes. When I am eventually out of bed, I usually check outside to see what the weather is like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Favourite getaway destination?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My bedroom on a rainy day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you could have dinner with any three people \u2013 alive or no longer here \u2013 who would they be and what would you serve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My late grandpa: he always had the most fascinating stories to tell and of course enjoyed his wine. The wine writer and critic, Tim Atkin \u2013 I\u2019ve tasted with him twice before and he is definitely someone who has a lot of anecdotes about the who\u2019s who in the global wine industry \u2013 I could learn a few secrets. And Joe Bastianich \u2013 a MasterChef USA judge and very good chef. Someone else would have to prepare the dinner because although I am totally addicted to cooking shows, I am not much of a cook myself, but if Joe\u2019 s coming, then there will definitely be authentic Italian pasta dishes on the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/zonnebloem.jpg\")
