Discover the dynamic wines of South Africa in this guided tasting and wine education event led by Andy Woolgar, founder of Elephant’s Corner Wines—a boutique importer dedicated to small-production, sustainable wineries across the Western Cape.
From rugged coastal vineyards to mountain-framed valleys, South Africa is producing some of the most exciting and expressive wines on the global stage. Andy will walk us through the country’s signature varietals, emerging regions, and the passionate winemakers behind them—all while we taste through a curated lineup that reflects the heart, soul, and complexity of South African terroir.
This is your chance to explore something unexpected, connect with an expert, and experience why South African wines deserve a place in your spring rotation.

Jake Assaf
Certified Sommelier
Somm (n.) - a shortened reference for sommelier, a trained and knowledgeable wine professional. SOMM (film) - a documentary by Director Jason Wise about the Master Sommelier examination. Similar to the celebrity chef phenomenon and due in-part to the documentary film series SOMM (available on Netflix), wine professionals are seeing their own emergence and nod on the global stage. We’re proud to introduce our own resident Somm and Managing Partner, Jake Assaf. Jake’s been a humble servant of the grape for more than 14 years and eagerly boasts ‘someone has got to taste wine and cheese for the rest of us.’ Jake is excellent at just that and is also a jedi master at pairing wines to perfectly suit your tastes and preferences. He personally selects the wines on our tap system (8 wines available on draft) and reserve bottle list. Our wines rotate frequently and aim to introduce you to wines you’ve never tried from producers you’ve likely not heard of. Not sure what you like? You're in good hands and we can't wait to pour you a proper glass.
