I was invited by Divine | Wines with attitude! to taste their and Savino´s range of wines. Lots of wine to taste, I managed 58 wines and here are my highlights.
Since I was walking around with notebook, tasting glass and spitton in hand while, in most cases, talking to the representatives from the estates, notes will be short and with a ~ score.
