Mixed Bag Vol. 16
A classical mixed bag in its fullest glory.
By Boris · Hosted by Boris Buliga
Sometimes, ideas are voiced but left hanging in the air, waiting... for what, no one really knows. And as we rush about, consumed by our trivial human affairs, those ideas wither and grow lonely. But thankfully, some people notice this injustice and say, "Alright, everyone, let's finally get together as planned." These moments of determination and clarity seem to align the stars, making everything fall into place as it should.
Ah, this sounds like the preface to some esoteric book - or perhaps a greeting from a cult. And in a way, it is. After all, we're here to cultivate a form of Dionysian joy in its broadest sense. It's not just about drinking wine; we embrace all the delights life offers - grilled chicken, strong spirits, cigars, sweets, and more. The evening stretches out, and we somehow manage to pack the richness of a few days into just a handful of hours. Yet it all feels unhurried, savoured.
The choice of wine was obvious: a classic mixed bag where anything goes. Here, we have bottles worth sharing and those we were curious to taste. Together with Maksym, we worked our magic, and the result was both delicious and fascinating. What can I say? Sometimes, you have to give yourself credit too.
So, here's a look at the wines we enjoyed.

La Bruja has undergone a significant evolution since 2018, transitioning from a village wine from Rozas de Puerto Real to a regional wine from Cebreros. This change seems to have infused it with new charm. While it may be less austere and serious on the palate, it's now more delicate, subtle, open, and notably juicier and fruitier.
