See Money Differently | “I’m sure in a few years time, in twenty years time, we’ll be buying their wines, not as Protégé wines, but as the premier wines in South Africa. When they come up for auction, think of them a little bit like a Picasso before anybody knew who Picasso was. Think, if you buy wisely, how much money you will make out of exactly that investment that you’re making.”- @nedbank CEO, Mike Brown, at The Cellar Door, a special auction dinner in honour of the @nedbank @cape_winemakers_guild Protégé Programme | #nedbankcwg #nedbankcwg19 #tasteletssee #cwgprotege #ad (at The Galleria Conference and Eventing Venue) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ojErpp04A/?igshid=1f465epcgdud
