A quick plug for an amazing South African tasting in London next week.

It’s organized by merchants SWIG, and the details are here. The line-up of wines and winemakers is stellar.

Here’s the good bit: tickets are £25, but SWIG are offering wineanorak readers 50% off, so you can attend for just £12.50

To take advantage of this offer, anyone booking tickets should email richard@swig.co.uk or call 0208 995 7060 quoting ‘Wine Anorak’

[I don’t benefit financially from this. Just want to help match up a great consumer tasting from a really good wine merchant with the sort of people who’d love this event.]
