I’m not much of a Pinot Noir drinker, fortunately. But still ... darned baboons!
I have a history of South Africa that DP bought me at a library sale, and it said that South Africa has been exporting wines since the 1690s. At one point, almost half the wine drunk in England came from South Africa.
I actually prefer wines from California. My dogs are from Africa, however.
Ok, not directly, but the breed originates there.
