This sleek wine bar on Sea Point main road welcomed the WhiteStickSips with open arms and presented us with some of the top wines on their wine-list. Harold Stoffel’s hands on approach definitely pays off and the place was buzzing with regulars enjoying a after work glass of wine.
Along with some snacks we worked our way through the wines and came across a few great surprises along the way. A very affordable and not overly market-up wine-list makes this wine bar a gem to remember and a great spot to sit back, relax and enjoy some wine.
