South African Wine Travels with #WinePW

It has been years since my trip to South Africa and to say it was the trip of a lifetime is an understatement.  I jumped at the opportunity to host our Wine Pairing Weekend group (#WinePW) for June featuring South African wines. It came as a perfect time as June 15th is also #DrinkCheninDay, one of South Africa's main varietals.

My stop at the Asara Wine Estate

Wines of South Africa was generous to partner with many of our bloggers providing samples of chenin blanc.  So don't miss this food and wine extravaganza Saturday June 8th.
