Event Description

Wine school founder Jimmy Smith is a huge South African wine fanatic and happily travels out to the winelands in the Western Cape most years to immerse himself in the culture of this oldest new world wine country. In this tasting Jimmy has hand-selected his favourite red wines from his most recent trip in September 2022 where he attended the huge and impressive Cape Wine Fair.
