It is no longer a novelty for us to hold conferences and meetings online, that is why the appearance of the online wine tasting service is a logical continuation of the Gustos.Life’s activity. You probably remember Gustos.Life from the wine vernissages held in Chisinau, the platform that allowed us to appreciate and vote for our favorite wine.
It seems that Gustos.Life, in the context of the pandemic and social distancing, comes with an alternative solution for winelovers eager to communicate, to learn and to taste new wine releases. The virtual tastings take place on Zoom. Various experts guide you during the tasting and offer val...

Cu toții am așteptat ca renumita vinărie de la Bulboaca, Castel Mimi, să își reia activitatea. În prima săptămână după redeschidere, vizitatorii au putut beneficia doar de plimbări pe teritoriul vinăriei, fără degustări de vin. Curtea grandioasă permite în condiții de maximă siguranță să găzduiască un număr mai mare de vizitatori. Aceasta cuprinde un scuar minunat, grădini veșnic verzi, terase de vară, spații pentru picnic și mai recent un labirint verde. ”Labirintul Castel Mimi”, amplasat în spatele Castelului, este un loc perfect pentru o activitate de recreere cu familia.

You probably remember the young sommelier from Moldova, Daniel Frumusachi, which in 2019 set two world records after opening the most sparkling bottles using the sabrage technique. In just 28 seconds he opened 49 bottles, and in another 60 seconds 79 bottles.
However, Dan does not stand still, and he amazes us again. This time he opened a sparkling wine as he fell from the sky. At almost 3,000 meters above the ground, while parachuting, he even managed to serve the sparkling wine from the glass.
