This marks my 6th year as a volunteer for Divinum – every year since 2018, except when it got cancelled for Covid. Still having a blast. I know a lot of the producers by sight, some by name, and I can still schlep 8 crates of glasses in one go.
This year, Jem came as well on Saturday night, and she described it as a 10/10 evening :)
Snippets:
– The Vino Argentino stand completely changed their offering from last year, and I didn’t think it stacked up as well
– Discovered that SRV Vins in Crissier imports the wines from Farina, which we visited in Valpolicella last spring.
– Met a nice Ozzie man, who wooed Katy and Jem with wines. Met a nice sommelier lady who might be a good candidate to organize wine tastings for the work wine club
– Tried some Margaux and Saint-Estèphe wines, which would cost you a kidney to buy and wouldn’t be really good to drink before another 5-10 years.
– (Re)discovered some local Swiss producers (Brantard, Ours) which make nice things.
