I went to the Thursday tasting at Domasoteca wine shop. It’s a cute little wine store. There was nobody there except for the wine importer, and he gave me a taste of 4 red Italian wines.
I don’t remember the names of the wine. I do however remember telling him that the Cabernet Sauvignon would go well with fish because it tastes like fish. That’s when the wine tasting ended.
