Gabriel - I think we need a longer article here !

You really need a short list of wines tasted, and the tasters' scores marking 1-5 on about six key dimensions. It wouldn't take up too much space.

(confession: I used to be EU wine consultant to the Government of the Republic of Moldova !)

Out of curiosity: which most prestigious Balkan wines were presented at the testing?
