Blacc Wine Study Group and Master Class with Shawn from Ken Forrester
Blacc Study group is an initiative I started before Covid 19.

After meeting for a few weeks we finished the entire WSET Level 2 study guide.

We meet each week online Tuesday and Thursday for this master class.
This session we have a Master Class from Shawn Mathyse, the Assistant Winemaker for Ken Forrester Wines. Shawn talks about everything Chenin Blanc.
