As 2023 draws to a close, I wanted to create something extraordinary. Instead of the usual results announcement and online quiz, I organised a special event combining a wine tasting with a presentation of the year's results and a quiz.
Emotionally, it was the highlight of our year -- not to diminish our previous gatherings, but rather to celebrate the culmination of all we've enjoyed and learned together.
For the occasion, I selected a variety of festive wines. While not strictly the highest-rated or my personal favourites, each bottle is one I'm always pleased to pour and share. Special thanks to Andrii and Yaroslav for contributing bonus bottles as treats for everyone.
And, of course, there were presents to acknowledge our most active participants:
- Oleksandr R: Réserve Perpétuelle by Robert Moncuit for being the most engaged participant this year.
- Elvira K: Réserve Perpétuelle by Robert Moncuit for her steadfast participation, and Blanc de Noirs by Benoît Lahaye for her quiz victory. Well done!
- Daria B and Dmytro D: Brut Rosé Reserve by Bründlmayer and NeroBaronj 2018 by Gulfi for their significant involvement throughout the year.
Stay tuned for the full yearly report, to be published on the 31st of December. Here's to more memorable moments and shared bottles in the coming year!
