We're heading to South Africa tonight! No passport required, no 18-hour flight, and absolutely no need to remember which side of the road they drive on.

South African winemaker Ryan Puttick is joining us behind the bar to share wines from Franschhoek and Old Road Wine Co., and we couldn't be more excited to introduce you to these bottles.

If you've never spent much time exploring South African wine, tonight is an excellent place to start. The country has an incredible winemaking history, a wildly diverse landscape, and a knack for producing wines that seriously overdeliver for the money.

These are approachable, delicious, everyday-drinking wines. The kind you can open on a Wednesday with takeout, bring to a friend's house without overthinking it, or keep a few bottles of on hand because you know they'll make just about any evening a little better. There also a special staff favorite on this tasting, The Last Elephant, which tastes delicious and does good in the world.

Ryan will be here to share the stories behind the wines, answer your questions, and hopefully convince a few of you to give South Africa a more permanent place on your wine racks.

The tasting is completely free, and you're welcome to stop in anytime between 5 and 8 PM. Come discover a new favorite without putting a dent in your wine budget.
