Handmade wine cork memory wall hanging. Got a wine crate from the local wine merchant, some plexiglass from hornbach and just a bit of DIY bodging and voila! It’s a bit wonky in places, but has character!

This is why I love Divinum
We ordered some wine from Enoteca Capponi, one of our favourite Divinum exhibitors. When they came to deliver our order, we had the added lovely surprise of having won a magnum from their daily raffle, and they gave us a limoncello Colomba di Pasqua!. This, on top of two cases of very nice wine, will fill our bellies and raise our spirits for a while.
Divinum 2021
I was only supposed to volunteer a couple of evenings, but given that they were severely understaffed and Ben decided that he wanted to help out, I ended up doing Thu-Sat-Sun-Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun. It was good fun, though I was told to slow down the pace a couple of times :D It’s nice to feel appreciated for a job well done :) If you can, I highly recommend volunteering – it’s a good bunch of people and they treat you well! Plus. it’s a very good way to get your steps in!!
Also, thank you Domaine du Mont D’or and Enoteca Capponi for your kind gifts!
See you next time :)
Apero on the water
Delphine, the head of the wine club, is leaving Nestlé for new adventures so we had a little apero on her boat to celebrate her departure. We were initially supposed to go out on the water but we stayed in the marina because the lake was a bit too windy and choppy. Was really nice to be sociable again!
[wine] Wine tasting challenge
Start from the top and work your way through the board. Ask your wine merchant for properly representative bottles of each, and aim for mid-range, affordable options.
Truer words…
A version of Monopoly I’d finally like to play
Tastes like… wine
