For all you wine lovers South Africa needs to be on your bucket list. We only
had time to visit two of South Africa's best wine regions: Stellenbosch which is
known for its high quality red wine and Franschhoek, a breathtakingly beautiful
wine region known for its European-style wines. Now on the first evening there we
did a wine tasting at Waterford Estate where I realized I'm the worst wine
taster ever. My friend Coribbia loves wine and helped me get better at learning
how to properly taste wine and describe the flavors. Tell me what it tastes like
after you've swallowed it. What does your mouth taste like right now? It's ver
earthy. hmm. Very dry and kind of bitter. Okay. All right. That's my
take on this wine, let's see Coribbia's! Oh.
hmm It's not as acidic, it doesn't smell as
acidic as the others. Okay okay so we're going to taste. I taste some vanilla. It is
very dry and I like dry wines. It is the driest that we've had for sure and it
and it does leave some bitterness after you swallow. Yeah you got that. Coribbia just
broke down some things for me. She told me what like one tasted versus the other
like she told me this one had a peppery taste versus this
one that didn't have like a spicy taste. When she used a bunch of adjectives to
kind of describe the wine then I could actually see the difference but like
usually when I taste wine, I'm like oh it all tastes the same to me. All reds taste the same
to me, all whites taste the same to me so when she actually used additives to
describe each wine, now I can actually see the difference. The next morning we
really stepped it up. Instead of just doing a wine tasting, it was time to do a
full-blown wine experience. I got our tickets, we all have to put
these cute little stickers on! We traveled about thirty minutes to get to
the Franschhoek wine tram, an all day hop on hop off tour of the beautiful
wine valleys of Franschhoek. So we basically got to spend the entire day
just sipping South African wines while enjoying the kind of mountain valley
scenery you'd see on a pretty postcard. Hey guys I think I'm getting better with my
descriptions and my adjectives. This one has more of a woody smokey taste to it...hmmm.
I'm on my way to becoming a wine expert just wait and see, by the end of this trip I
will be a wine connoisseur like Coribbia.
Please keep in mind when you do a tour like this you'll be drinking all day,
so take your time and don't feel pressured to drink everything you're
given. Go with the flow and just enjoy the process of getting wine drunk. I feel
good. I've had some good food and good wine and now I want to take a nap. I'm so sleepy...
but we still have 2 more wine please to go to.
Between the food and the wine, my friend Jannae is officially knocked out. It's
been a long day long day y'all. It's been a long day. We're on...is this #5? 6? No! 5!
We've only gone to five Jannae. Yeah that's how long of a day it's been.
You're right it has been a long day. All right, last last round you guys. We've got four
glasses to go. She looks like she hates it. My rap name is Novach. You can
follow me on Instagram. Alright, I'm totally South African I'm gonna try rapping in an
American accent. I do exactly what I'm supposed to do not to own the world by myself
but together with all of you. Revert or reverb the past can't catch me
I'm too fast and I past the place of ever not catching what I got that's
coming to me. All the luxury and freedom for painless ecstasy before working my
brain, it's not magic I made it happen, now I'm watching for the further
reaction. This is the end and the beginning I was just asking you.
And now we have concluded our wine tour. We have survived. We went to every
wine stop imaginable. We went to 5 wine stops, we survived and we're still sober. Kind of. Approaching.
but not really. We did it. I'm so proud of us.
