I think we did ok on Black Friday.
It was fortunate timing for replacing items after this.
But we don’t splurge. We select the deals which work for us, and we use the opportunity of a discount to purchase things we were going to get anyway.
Except, well… There was this on Simonsig’s Instagram:
We’re pricing like it’s 1969. ?
For today only, the first 50 customers who purchase our Sunbird Sauvignon Blanc 2024 can take home a case for ONLY R90 (that’s R15 a bottle).We chose Sunbird for a reason – that 1969 invoice listed three white wines, a reminder that our story began with white. And in summer, nothing beats a crisp Sunbird Sauvignon Blanc.
One day. One deal. It’s our way of tipping the hat to where it all started.
Bullsh…. Nonsense, I thought. No-one sells R750 worth of wine for R90.
But obviously, I clicked through anyway, and there it was.
So I tried to buy some. And then I did buy some.
Because it was a genuine deal. (T&Cs meant one case per customer.)
And the money went off my account, and then the wine arrived this morning:
I’m not a white wine expert, but:
A perfect aperitif on a warm summer day, this wine also works very well with rich and fatty foods. Try it with salads, goat’s milk cheese, lemon-garnished fish dishes and Thai foods.
sounds pretty good, but it sounds even better when it comes in a R15 a bottle.
That case also looks good when stacked on top of the other… “several”… cases that also arrived today from other places, stocking up ahead of Ke Dezemba.
