South African Wine Dinner

$85++ ⁞ $45++ for Platinum Society Members
South Africa is the eighth-largest wine producer in the world and the sixth-largest wine exporter. Their wines offer impressively good value and feature styles and tastes that are food-friendly, blending elegance and power. South Africa has been producing wine since vines were planted in the 17th century, brought by the Dutch governors of Cape Colony. One of its most unique is the Pinotage, a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault grape varieties, created in 1925. Chef Eric has created the perfect summer pairing menu to complement these wines. The evening will be facilitated by Derek Captain of Winebow Fine Wine+Spirits.
