Wine and Cheetahs?

When I was at UCT we went on an annual rampage around the cape vineyards inevitably visiting the Spier estate near Stellenbosch.

They've been making wine there since 1692 ... but they've stopped producing the port we used to buy by the gallon and have gone very up-market.

They also now host a Cheetah sanctuary:
It seems the animals are spoiled by human contact and can't be returned to the wild. Strangely, the money they make from tourists goes to a program of purchasing Anatolian sheep dogs.
