Quick & Easy Guide to Wines of South Africa by Vivian Chen - The Somm Next Door

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. Today's Wine Wildekrans Pinotage 2019 Bot River WO (Walker Bay)

Let me know what else I should cover Cheers!
