A new solidarity wine for Ukraine and some (good) news about the 2022 harvests

Year 12, No. 10

Greetings,

The news is definitely not taking any time off these days and in mixed in with the midterm elections in the United States, good news came from Ukraine in that the Russians have retreated from Kherson and the right bank of the Dnipro River.

The war is clearly not over and, after a small pause, the Russians lit into Ukraine with a new volley of missiles that continue to cripple their civilian infrastructure.

"Miquel, we've seen this on the news. It's horrible. What does it have to do with wine?"

I wanted to give some context as the Ukrainians are facing a terrible winter and we in countries not being invaded by Russia need to give whatever direct humanitarian assistance we can to help them survive this.

As my wife and I had friends from the Mariupol/Kherson region visiting us in 2019 who participated in a small microvinification wine I was making from Grenache in Priorat, I've decided to release all the bottles for sale with 100% of the money going to an organization in this south…
