" Babs Chernetz, REDBOOK&amp;#039;s intrepid food editor, is always travelling off to an exotic corner of the world, whether for business or pleasure. She recently filled me in on her trip to South Africa: &amp;quot;I just had the most amazing adventure in South Africa, courtesy of the Gallo wine company. I was there to see firsthand the wine country where Gallo has partnered with the South African wine maker, Swarthland, to create a variety of blends: a Shiraz-Pinotage &amp;quot;Cape Blend,&amp;quot; Cabernet-Pinotage blend, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Sauvigon Blanc and a Chenin Blanc due out this fall, all retailing for only $9.00. What&amp;#039;s really exciting about these new wines, besides their taste and inexpensive price, is the story behind the label.  &amp;quot;The folks at Gallo met an incredible woman, Lente Roode, at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre, where she has worked tirelessly to save cheetahs and other endangered animals over the years. Sebeka is the name of the orphaned cheetah cub that Lente first took care of when she was just a 5-year-old girl. Ever since then, she has spent her life saving cheetahs and other endangered animals. See the photo below? That&amp;#039;s Lente with 2 of 3 baby cheetahs she helped deliver\u2014the mother cheetah had a broken leg and would not have been able to give birth without help.  &amp;quot;And below, here&amp;#039;s me with the mother cheetah and 3 of the babies\u2014they are only 2 weeks old in these photos. Anyway, the Gallo-Swarthland team were so inspired by Lente&amp;#039;s work and passion for conservation and saving animals that they named their wine Sebeka in her honor. The winery supports cheetah conservation throughout the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre, near Kruger National Park. If you ever plan to go to South Africa, you can stay at the game park&amp;#039;s Camp Jubalani (named after a baby elephant she saved called Jubalani). You will also be able to visit the Endangered Species Centre and see animals in the wild.&amp;quot;  Well, I may not be planning any trips to South Africa any time soon, but that story is enough to make me try a bottle of Sebeka wine\u2014I mean, my current method of choosing is by the prettiness of the label, so surely this is a more worthwhile way of selecting a bottle of shiraz!
