Les Davoche
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.

So, consider this a unique combination of a classic wine tasting, a review of the year's results, and a quiz filled with delightfully silly questions. And prizes, of course!
