Let's Learn about South African wine! This is a broad overview of South Africa's signature grapes and wine regions (Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Paarl, etc). And I will share with you why I think this up-and-coming region is a great place to find great high quality value wines.
Also it's National Chenin Blanc Day this weekend so I thought it was fitting to talk about South Africa, where it is the most planted grape.
Today I am drinking a Pinotage! Maybe one of the most divisive grapes... Watch to learn what the grape is, what pinotage tastes like and which regions should you be buying Pinotage.
