About
As a passionate wine enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share the story of how I discovered my love for wine and what led me to create The Connoisseurs Collection. My name is Joe Beziek, and I’m a winemaker, wine enthusiast, and the founder of The Connoisseurs Collection. With a degree in Oenology and Viticulture from the University of Stellenbosch, I’ve spent years immersing myself in the craft of winemaking. This is a space where we’ll explore everything there is to know about wine - from the basics to the more intricate details that can transform your wine experience.

Vision
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting people from all walks of life - whether they were beginners just starting their wine journey or seasoned professionals. One thing that stood out to me was how many people feel embarrassed or scared to ask questions about wine, fearing they might look uneducated. This is a mindset I want to change. We all have to start at the beginning ... no matter how successful we eventually become. That’s why I created The Connoisseurs Collection: to share my knowledge in a way that’s easy to understand, making even the most complex aspects of wine feel approachable and exciting.
Mission
Great wines do more than just taste good - they tell a story. They become even more magical once you understand the effort, tradition, and artistry behind them. My mission is to break down these barriers and help you experience wine on a deeper level, so when you share a bottle with friends, you’re not just drinking - you’re sharing a piece of history, passion, and love.
