In Episode 278 of The Drinking Hour podcast, host David Kermode is joined by Tinashe Musora, a rising star sommelier in South Africa and the winner of the IWSC emerging talent in wine hospitality award. Here he shares the story of coming to South Africa as a refugee from Zimbabwe, finding his way into hospitality as a restaurant runner at Creation Wines, and how a staff tradition of ‘Bubbly Friday’ and a first taste of Brut Nature Cap Classique sparked a journey into wine appreciation and education. Musora details how he is now on a quest to bring the African context into wine education and build connection through wine appreciation on an international level in his new role as corporate sommelier for Princess Cruises. In this uplifting episode, there’s even a surprise special guest joining the podcast to sing Musora’s praises.
