Looking for a creamy Sauvignon Blanc with tangy tropical flavours at a reasonable price? Try the Wonderfontein 2012 from Robertson at all of R36 a bottle at I Love My Laundry on Buitengracht.

This farm gives new meaning to value for money. Try the Marais Family Merlot 2010 for R32. Heck, the whole range reads like a mismark.

Top of the line is the Paul Rene bubbly that comes in a funky tromp l’oeil box with a pop-out business card. A blanc de blanc, you can taste why Robertson is famous for race horses and Chardonnay. It’s the limestone, stupid. And Paul Rene has the smallest bubbles in the business. Now all you need is a copy of Raymond Chandler’s masterpiece The Big Sleep and some Van Ryn 12 YO brandy for the ultimate cocktail.
