GOODBYE 2022, HELLO 2023<br />

This final session of 2022 fully delivered on its promise and we are now focusing on our objectives<br />

for 2023. Our big news is that, after touring Central and Eastern Europe with some success<br />

for the past year, we are now heading off to conquer South America. Welcome to Vivien Morvan<br />

who recently joined us and will be moving to Mendoza at the start of 2023 and will ultimately be<br />

travelling around the entire continent from his base in Argentina. With him comes the promise<br />

of some great tastings, with a very exotic twist!<br />

THE BEST OF WINTER 2022<br />

Our medal chart for this fourth session takes into account our latest tastings, as always, and the topics<br />

addressed in the relevant magazine articles. It therefore features a selection of German wines, a country<br />

we focused on in the 49th issue of this magazine (Autumn 2022), followed by Czech wines from Moravia,<br />

Slovacko and Velke Pavlovice. No festive season would be complete without a selection of Champagnes,<br />

along with a choice of organic wines or wines in the conversion phase from Emilia-Romagna and Umbria.<br />

Lastly, we take you on a little road trip through the Breede River Valley, a prime destination for discovering<br />

South African wines.<br />
