The ZA Confidential podcast is back, purring over a fine SA white and growling at the government.

The wine being slurped is the Glen Carlou 2020 Petite Chardonnay, and the tasters are Malcolm MacDonald, Jeff Osborne and Jeremy Sampson. Overseeing it all is the font of all booze Michael Olivier.

Recorded just before the latest (tiny) easing of SA lockdown restrictions, the panel frets over the harm which has been done to the wine and hospitality sectors.

You can access the podcast recording below, and you really, really should.
