We are so excited to bring you an entire episode on South African Wine. Although you may not see them too often in the American market, South Africa is the 7th largest wine producer in the world.
We sip stellar sparkling wine from an area known for high quality and explore a Cap Classique wine that can keep up with its European counterparts.
We then tell the story of Mr. Siguqa, a child of a black winery worker under Apartheid, who now owns his winery and vineyard.
Through a complicated history of ups and downs South Africa is a major contender in the wine world and their wines are worth your time.
