Lits asked members to forget any pre-conceptions of insipid wines tasted on summer holidays many moons ago – the wines from the Mediterranean islands are now hot stuff, stunning both experts and amateurs.
And so it proved to be, when our our taste-buds were taken on an island-hopping cruise to sip, savour and sample their way around six delightful wines.
During a seemingly never ending period of canceled holidays and disappointments, our ‘cruise’ provided a great reminder of how things should, and hopefully will be, very soon!
