Jura contre l'humanité
When I drink Jura, I often think about Grégoire Moulin. In my opinion, they are both beautiful in their characteristic nervosity. Yet let my opinion about the movie not distract you from the main attraction of this day. So without further ado, meet our protagonists. And let's meet on the moon afterwards.

Opaque Tasting Vol. 2
Imagine a completely black and opaque glass filled with wine. Can you tell if it's red or white? Turns out, it's not that easy to guess.

Oceania of Time
Instead of a wooden sword, the unnamed old man gives us a set of glasses. As we touch the stem, a vision strikes us. Cloaked bottles (clearly from Victoria, Nelson, Central Orago and North Canterbury) stand in a cold dark place. They chant. They whisper. They call us. They promise to show death, life and kindness. Armed and confused, we start our quest. Luckily the first chest contains a legendary artefact - Oceania of Time, a teleportation device.

Bruno Paillard: Collection Anciens Dégorgements
Collection Anciens Dégorgements tasting event. Five Première Cuvée bottles disgorged at different dates.

Quest for Value
The quest for value never ends. At one of the previous events, we focused on wines with a good value under a specific price bar. Today we continue to explore the Ukrainian wine market to find bottles that hit the sweet spot of quality to price ratio. To spice things up, we have wines in different price ranges.

Mixed Bag Vol. 5
There are many bottles in my bag. I get them one after another. It calls for a wine tasting event!
