Good episode Gary. I will keep an eye out for when the wine is restocked in the store.

QOTD (for Niels Verburg): Has the political and social changes in South Africa affected the wine industry? Has the country seen an increase in wine exports post-Apartheid?

Gary- Thanks for letting us know about another hands-on winemaker from across the globe. It is a big wine world that WLTV is making a little smaller with great episodes like this.

Niels QOD- What is the size of your farm and what varietals do you grow?

Thanks, Dan C.

QueSeraSyrah

Dan C,
I believe he said he only grows and produces Syrah. Concentrating on making the best expression of the varietal if I’m summarizing correctly.

QOD- When did you discover wine and what was the first bottle that you tried that won you over?

QOTD…What is your take on how hard or easy it is to be in the wine business in the U.S. versus South Africa. What kind of challenges do you run into in South Africa with exporting, government, and the like.
