Price includes ticket, tax, and gratuity

Pinotage is South Africa’s signature grape, created in 1925 by crossing Pinot Noir and Cinsault. Known for its deep color and bold character, it typically offers flavors of blackberry, plum, cherry, and raspberry, often complemented by notes of smoke, spice, coffee, or dark chocolate. Once known for producing rustic wines, modern winemaking has helped Pinotage showcase greater balance and complexity, ranging from fresh, fruit-driven styles to rich, age-worthy bottlings.

Join us as we welcome Mathilda Joubert as our guest speaker of the evening. As a native South African and the owner of a South African wine import company, SA-vor, she is the perfect person to lead us trhough the evening. We'll explore the history of the grape and discuss each producer as you taste six piontages from South Africa. You'll also enjoy light shared appetizers.
