Sips Don't Lie Podcast

In this episode we're talking about our most challenging times and some of the obstacles and curve balls life has thrown at us. We matched our conversation with a South African MCC (Methode Cap Classic) aka South Africa's answer to champagne. This was kindly gifted to us by the Van Hunks who are specialists in creating sparkling liquids charged with the natural beauty of Cape Town, South Africa – check them out @vanhunksdrinks. South Africa has faced multiple alcohol bans over the past year which has affected their wine industry meaning many businesses might night survive – supporting the South African industry by drinking South African wine is a small thing we can do to make a big difference to these businesses.

Celebrating the little things and the big is so important, society has a script of things we should celebrate - getting a degree; good job; married; kids; a long marriage; more kids - but what if you live off script ? What if setting up your own business felt like a bigger achievement than getting your masters - but there isn't a card for that. Space to celebrate is space to reflect and give some gratitude to yourself and what your hard work has achieved. We're pairing this conversation with Crémant d'Alsace- the perfect little accompaniment to celebration.
