Back at the judging table at the đˇ
Blind tasting = pure focus.
No label. No story. Just structure, balance & precision.
But the real highlight?
The conversations between flights.
Winemakers. Sommeliers. Importers.
Different countries. Different perspectives. Same passion.
This year I noticed:
⢠more freshness & elegance
⢠smarter alcohol management
⢠growth in alcohol-free categories
⢠stronger need for storytelling
The industry is shifting.
Consumers are changing.
Wine is adapting.
And honestly?
This is where trends are born â not online, but at the table.
Grateful to be part of it đ¤
