Beautiful Delana Sadie, sister to the Baby Jesus of SA wine, Eben Sadie (pace Anton Espost) put slack wine hacks and cultural carpetbaggers back in their box. If you didn’t RSVP three weeks before the ouwingerdreeks launch at Zef Sentraal (the Royal Hotel in Riebeek-Kasteel) then don’t try and pitch.

Dear Sir/ Madam (neatly addressing the confused gender issue raised by Lorraine Immelman yesterday)

This is just a follow-up on the invitation you received to the release of our” Ouwingerdreeks”. RSVP date was the 20th and since we have a space restriction and will only be able to accommodate the guests who are on the list as of today, we just want to make sure there is no misunderstanding. So we will not be expecting you – hope to receive you at another occasion in future!
