A somewhat
dissapointing evening, although with an excellent turnout. Luiz Sanz
Estrada of devinos www.devinos.co.uk
presented a selection of wines from his range.
Unfortunately we only
got 6 ½ wines rather than the usual 8 – the 7th and
last wine ran out!
The wines are all on
the pricey side, although as they are all quite unusual, it's hard to
get a feel for where they should sit, price-wise.I certainlly didn't feel any were real VFM.
