THE BEST TABLE IN TOWN
Abi’z Wine Menu
With the ‘wine capital’ of South Africa being so far, away, we wanted to bring something special, from the vineyards of the Cape to the Joburg family. Sheldon and Shona found and tasted all the boutique wine that we have in our ‘of-so-cool’ wine cellar. Wines from family-owned, less-known wine farms are all situated in our beautiful country. Wines that you rarely find in any restaurants and in no chain supermarkets.
Boutique wine should be accessible and enjoyed by everyone, and we have that right here, on your doorstep – red, white and bubbles in copious amounts is never a bad idea!
