FYI for any wino that may be interested -many of us already knew this anyway. Salute!

Yea, we've been there a few times and had wonderful conversations with their sommelier about the wine. They are one of the world's largest consumer of So. African wines, who knew? Their wine list is always evolving.

I think they have a great wine selection - but they tend not to sell the ones of which I am most fond by the glass.

Not sure if they still offer it -but they used to have a great sampler(3 wines) for about $15. The pours were very generous.

Nala is right -- we have to get a bottle to get the wine we want.

I will be eating at Jiko for the first time this October and was wondering if you recommend any specific wines that you have tried and liked? If not then I will make sure to ask my server...very excited to try something new!

We love Spice Route's Malabar.

On our last visit, we enjoyed the sommelier's recommendation, Stellenbosch. I believe we had the Syrah. We try a different bottle each time we go and this one has been our favorite.
