South African wine on the radio rocks! No I haven’t gone mad, I’ve found this amazing radio station that talks about wines. There is so much information about wines from around the world and they are going to be featuring South Africa in some of their future shows, so I thought you would love to look at what they are doing.

Go to www.graperadio.com to discover such things as Retail wine buying, All about Wine Tasting, Wine Myths and Wine Travels. I am sure you will love listening in and learning more about grapes and their journey to the table.

If you are looking to buy South African wine, why not try eWine? eWine is a South African wine portal where you will be able to buy your favourite South African wines, but you will also find interesting information about South Africa’s winemakers, wines, restaurants, accommodation in the winelands and almost everything related to South African wine.

Make sure to pre-order your John Platter book too, so that you can plan your Winelands tour. If you want help with your tour, Tailor Made South Africa Travel will be delighted to assist you. There are so many wonderful estates to visit, you might like a personal guide to some of the smaller estates offering your particular favourites.

My favourites include Backsberg, Saxonberg, Villera and Thelema. Check them out now!

South Africa Travel experiences – how would you go about researching a destination that you’ve never visited before, but one that is definitely on the “hot” list? Have you ever thought about radio shows?

I’ve just come across Rick Steve’s radio show because I am doing a course with my friend, Wayne Kelly of On Air Publicity. I wanted to learn how to be the best radio show inerviewee that I could and who better to coach me than my mate Wayne.

Part of the homework for this week is to listen to radio shows, to find out how interviews are conducted, what kept you listening and what would you do to be more interesting/informative.

I chose to listen to Rick on Spain. Boy, have I learnt a lot about the country I have chosen to live in! Quite by chance Rick is doing a show on Saturday about South Africa with Carmin Arnot, who is a native of Cape Town. I urge you to listen in if you are at all interested in South Africa. It is bound to be highly informative and I am sure will whet your appetite for this facinating country.
