(Not) just a cork
Has it ever happened to you, looking at the wine-lined shelves of wine boutiques or supermarkets, to succumb to an involuntary temptation and suspect some kind of “conspiracy theory” emanating from the entire world wine-making community?

This region produces quite specific wines, “wines for an amateur”, the originality of which delights and frightens off. Well, there is no dispute about tastes, as they say! In this article, we would like to share our personal impressions of exploring such a wonderful region, with its picturesque vineyards and unique wines.

Not with the help of fists, of course, but in order to check whether we can blindly taste four red wines from the Spanish region of Rioja, French Bordeaux and Italian Tuscany. Perhaps, reading these lines, you will think: “Ugh … easy!” But whether it really was that easy, you will find out by reading our article.
