Dear
friends of wine and Divine Wine, I’ve returned from my travels. July was about a relentless
and sweaty - nevertheless very enjoyable - search for divine wines in
Mediterranean Europe. Our very small rental car gave its maximum speed on the
highways of Italy, was almost swept away by brisk Slovenian side winds and,
finally, was covered in dust on the minuscule, bumpy dirt roads of Istrian coast in
Croatia. On a daily basis, temperatures of 35 to 40 degrees Celsius challenged
the aromatic integrity of both me and my precious wine buys on the back seat.
And, dear friends, all this was happily endured just to bring you a massive amount of exciting tips about
fantastic, new wines, obscure local grape varieties, wonderful wine bars and places
to travel for your next divine wine vacation! This week I’ll start by taking you
to Lombardy, the country of Franciacorta sparkling wine. I’m excited; it’s
great to be back!
