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.

Have you ever wondered why some wines are so inexpensive and some seem too expensive?

Part 3 of our Beginners series starts with another surprise gem of a wine from Trader Joe's. It is a great example of buying wine for you and your price point.

Allie reviews what goes into the price of a bottle. Everything from physical products like grapes and bottles to costs of grapes in different areas, and distribution.

Julie gives you a short list of tips and tricks to help you navigate the grocery isles, the best places to buy, and how to taste on the go.

Take a chance at something new, and join us! Cheers!
