City 17: Chapter Matassa
A spontaneous tasting in Ivano-Frankivsk that grew from a photo, a chat message, and a shared love for wine - bringing together people, bottles, and honest conversation in the cosy space of café Misto. Chapter Matassa, as it happened.

Sometimes things just align, as if someone had planned it all behind the scenes. But no one did - it was just a few people in different cities, a few messages in a group chat, and a shared affection for wine. And somehow, from those scattered threads, something whole took shape.
I had simply shared a photo from a Kyiv tasting of Cuvée Romanissa. Someone in Ivano-Frankivsk saw it and said, "It would be cool to do something like that here." That's really all it takes - just give me a reason to open good bottles. A few minutes later, I was already sorting through my stash, assembling a parcel for delivery, coordinating stuff with people. If there's intent, the rest falls into place.
And so this tasting came to be - on the 17th, at café Misto. Naturally, I couldn't resist a little nod. City 17: Chapter Matassa. Maybe a bit clumsy, but it made me smile.
After everything, what stayed with me was this quiet sense of gratitude. For the people who didn't just show up but really listened to the wine. For conversations that had weight. For sincere reactions, even the sharp ones. For this oddly harmonious mix of impressions, born from completely separate moments.
A special thanks to Kseniia, Tetiana, and everyone who was there. For your presence, openness, jokes, ratings, and the kind of participation that matters. And of course, to Misto - for being the space where it could all unfold.
Some things just come together right. This was one of them.
