We’ve officially started our new wine-pairing series with Fledge & Co, and we’re excited to be sharing these wines around the Social Table over the next few weeks. What we love about Fledge & Co. is their focus on showcasing the diversity of the Cape through thoughtfully made wines sourced from vineyards across the Western Cape: from the Swartland and Stellenbosch to Elgin, Agulhas, Montagu, and beyond. Their wines are made with a hands-off approach that lets the vineyards and vintage speak for themselves, which feels very aligned with how we like to cook at Reverie. We’ve paired their wines with a new seasonal menu built around what’s coming through from our local farms right now, and we’d love for you to join us. Seats are open via @dineplan_app 🥂

Forget a stuffy wine list! Our by-the-glass selection gets a refresh every single week, hand-picked by yours truly (your local, friendly Somm). I take my job very seriously… which means I watch the forecast, chase the perfect chill on our whites, and read the vibes from our favourite regulars to make sure the pour is always spot on! Pouring this week while stocks last: @kloovenburg.estate @ionawines @rebelrebelwines @waterford_estate @the_fledge @grootepost @drukmynietwines @radford_dale @dtkwines @frankiefennermeatmerchants @perellofoods @morgenster_sa @eonayterblanche @vdp_distributors_western_cape @ @vino_roi @ruedawine @exanimowineco @nuschkadevos @ineedmorvino @sirisvintners @atbt_2007 @matthew_renge @everythings_vine_and_dandy

Escapade en Afrique du Sud — Le Viognier façon Fledge & Co. Chez Les Cavistes, on aime les histoires qui voyagent autant que les vins. Ce viognier 100%, importé exclusivement par La Société des Vins Jérôboam, est l’œuvre d’un couple passionné qui parcourt l’Afrique du Sud en van pour dénicher les terroirs qui, selon eux, expriment le mieux la beauté de chaque cépage. Le résultat dans votre verre : • Une fraîcheur éclatante • Des arômes de fruits jaunes • Une touche florale délicate … le tout porté par une précision et une attention au détail remarquable. Disponible en ce moment au verre directement au restaurant, pour le découvrir avant tout le monde. Exclusivité Cavistes x Jérôboam — À savourer dès maintenant. #cavistes #montreal #sommelier #québec #ahuntsic #fleuryouest #restaurant #wine #WSRestaurantAwards #vins #winetasting

It's been a while. Friday eve (25° at last!) vibes coming from the good and gnarly old Steen ( Chenin) vines of the Swartland. Courtesy of the artistic craft of Leon and Margaux at @the_fledge . Full of quince perfume, honey, honeysuckle, caramelised pecans. Mouthwatering sorrel-like acidity is mellowing now, but leave this buck on your palate for long enough, and there's plenty of life in it! 🐐 #thefledge #swartland #cheninblanc #steen #klipspringer #wosa

As the year hurtles to an end like a meteor fizzling into a moonless Karoo night & vintage stalks us like a Nile Crocodile waiting for the first Wildebeest of the migration on the Masai Mara to jump into the river - it’s time to wind down for the festive season & New Year. Without our supportive stockists across the globe & in South Africa who have spread the “word of the Fledge” & also our consumers - our vine to wine project would not be possible, so thank-you one & all! From all of us here at The Fledge & Co., the very best of festive well wishes & a happy ‘n prosperous 2024 to you, yours & all.
