We will sniff, swirl and taste a diverse range of wines from ASLINA, South Africa’s first Black owned wine producer, and a classic champagne from Charles Heidsieck. We will also be joined by a very special (and ridiculously cool) guest, Phillipe André, the first Black ambassador to the U.S for a champagne house!
Let’s be transported to South Africa and France virtually and close out this year with some joy, despite this challenging year!
