Site Updates Vol. 7
A deep dive into the latest redesign of Barberry Garden, covering structural improvements, new features, and upcoming plans.
Welcome to my independent exploration of the wine world. My name's Boris Buliga, and on this site I share my personal tasting notes and scores. You'll also find information about wines and winemakers, as well as the results of tastings I either organise myself (keep an eye on the event calendar) or attend with permission to collect participant scores. Over time, I've gathered a fair bit of data beyond my own notes, so once a year I publish summaries with some analytics (the latest ones are pinned just below).
As a little bonus, anyone who's joined one of our tastings has a personal page that slowly but surely gains new features. If you've forgotten how to access yours, just drop me a line.
P.S. I'm not a sommelier, nor do I have ties to wine importers or shops. I'm just an enthusiast who likes tracking my discoveries and staying as impartial as one can when there's so much good wine in the world.

A reflective analysis of a year shaped by events—those we hosted and those where we were honoured guests.
An exploration of Jura terroir through the diverse, nuanced expressions of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and traditional sweet wines by Domaine Labet. And a bit of Buronfosse.
A journey that stuns and sparks endless curiosity, from unearthing ancient bottles to sampling relic wines that share tales of bygone eras. Spellbinding and undeniably personal, it proves that wine can serve as a living time capsule for those willing to explore. Turns out time machines do exist—and sometimes, they’re hidden in our glasses.
Lo Bar Kyiv hosted an intimate tasting of Davoche Wines' first estate releases, featuring their complete range from Roussillon. The evening concluded with a playful blind tasting session, where neither their négociant wine nor Tschida's Brutal were correctly identified, yet sparked (engaging) discussions.
