Wine school last week was South Africa, and needles to say I was really curious about the wines thinking about my earlier experiences. And afterwards, yes my faith in wine from South Africa is restored, but our teacher agreed that it's hard to find good quality wine from South Africa in Sweden, which is a shame.
