Greetings from the capital of chicken curry!

From the yesterday's London International Wine Fair conference the following three conclusions can be made. Wine industry is in structural crisis. Professional wine critics are like panda bears - it's only a matter of time for them to be extinct. Only Twitter can save us.

Bear with me and more Wine Industry Insights will follow today.

Isn't spring lovely?

There's a cherry tree next to the winery building. We were afraid that the tree, being really close to the winery, would not survive the construction mess but the good news is that not only did it survive but there's also hope for abundance of cherries.


The first photo was taken on Saturday and the second today 5 minutes ago. Isn't spring wonderful? Cherries ripening in a matter of days...



And speaking of spring, grapes are blossoming as well. Not the kind of cheery fluffy white stuff you'd see on cherry trees but definitely beautiful in its minimalistic form. Grape blossoms are to the blossom world what Jil Sander is to the fashion world. Cherry blossoms are definitely Moschino.
Who said winery blog has to be only about wine?
