Julia's passion for South Africa is no secret, but she has a particular case to make for this amazing wine region: it's one of the best places in the world to find wineries engaged in amazing social and environmental initiatives. South Africa's brands don't just make wine worth supporting––they also make wine that will take your summer grilling, entertaining and date nights to the next level.
