Paula's Wine Stories
Follow me on my wine discoveries
I am no official expert when it comes to wine - simply someone who's been enjoying it for many years and is always ready for new findings. I like original blends, unusual varietals and cool spots where to drink wine.
Follow me in my wine adventures, discoveries and stories at wine tasting events, wine festivals and when meeting winemakers.
