September 2022. WInes of Uruguay, Carla Bertellotti

 

September 2022. Carla Bertellotti, Wines of Uruguay

First, the bad news – This is the 3^rd or 4^th time Carla has presented to us, but as her business as expanded, she’s got less and less time to do these presentations. This will be one the very last ones. As part of that expansion, she has become vinoslatinos.co.uk to cover all of Latin America, no longer just Uruguay. We’ll miss her.

All the wines are available from www.winesofuruguay.co.uk, and in the future from www.vinoslatinos.co.uk

All the wine prices are a bit variable, as they are exported in dollars, and the £/$ exchange is being quite unpredictable right now. Its quite likely that they will go up somewhat.
