Reciprocal
has a very good selection of imported wines and spirits and, once a year, they
come down to Cape Town so that their good customers, trade and media can taste
a selection of these. This is a chance to taste before you buy and people were
putting in orders for these iconic wines and enjoying this unique chance to
experience these excellent foreign wines. We certainly were very pleased to be
invited. You, too, can order these wines from Reciprocal. Check out their web
site http://www.reciprocal.co.za
