Dear readers, you will notice a small, but we think significant and useful change, with this week’s Restaurant& Wine feature. For the first time, but it will be so from now on going forward, a full set of tasting notes and scores will be available for the wines tried at each meal. The description of the wine will still be interwoven into the piece as we have done until now, but we have thought, that given our magazine’s focus on all things wine it was necessary to provide a longer, more complete tasting note for the wines described in this feature as well. You will find these at the end of the piece.
We hope you enjoy!
