Wine Tasting: September 16th, 2008

On September 16, 2008, Roy and Dianne from Z Wines USA brought four South African wines to share with us.  We tried two varieties of Chenin Blanc and Pinotage.  Here are a few highlights from what we learned at the tasting and photos of the wines we had.

  • 560 producers
  • 54% white wine / 46% red wine
  • 40% of production is exported
