Another Divinum completed. I volunteered 4 nights out of 6 this year, and it was still just as fun as in previous years. I’m starting to recognize many of the wine producers by face, and that’s a nice touch. Most are a really good bunch who appreciate what we’re there to do, and are always up for some wine-related banter. There are a few grumps, but it’s not too bad.
As always, the classics from Enoteca Capponi did not disappoint. The usual suspects: Gillard, Varone, Bonvin, Tulipe, Ours, Crans. We discovered some very nice Pinot Noir from Salquenen, which is going to be nice, light summer wine. I don’t usually care for Pinot, but these were a surprise. Found a new quaffing wine too.
And as always, there are advantages to being a volunteer on the last shift of closing night…
