Interview - Jim Clarke - Wines of South Africa - Episode

Описание: This is a re-upload of the original video. The only difference is that the first version had technical issues with onscreen graphics or "titles" not displaying properly at the beginning and end. Otherwise there is no difference in the video. The original video has been deleted from my channel.

In this episode of WWTV I on interview Jim Clarke who is the Country Manager for Wines of South Africa USA. He is also the person who wrote THE book on South Africa - The Wines of South Africa. Jim was in here in Texas for over a week and spent a total of 4 days in San Antonio conducting consumer and trade tastings! I got to attend two of those tastings. We cover a lot of cool topics about South African wine and some other important South African topics.
