Stand out wines from this year’s Divinum:

We’ve already put an order in for a case of S’escusu, but we’re debating between the rest.

Another evening on the logistics team at Divinum. This was the last evening of the salon, so things started out slowly but went crazy just after the doors closed, with all the glasses coming in for washing. Just a couple of thousand, really.

During my break, I went to spit check some of the wines that stood out from out 5 hour tasting session from yesterday. Some of them went from fantastic to meh, OK, but a few still stood out and deserve further attention.

At one point, near the end, all the exhibitors came in to empty their open bottles. We were aghast at seeing perfectly good wine being dumped down the drain, so we kindly asked them to… just leave the bottles on the table on their way out. In the end, all the volunteers had their pick of about 40 bottles.

I’m going to put my name in the hat to volunteer again next year :)

I volunteered to be part of the logistics team at Divinum. Spent 3 hours cleaning and polishing glasses,for a free meal and all the wine we could schmooze. Good evening!
