Truly respectful work. Having judged before—80 glasses of Ribera del Duero in 4 hours, or 40 Romanian sparklings in 3—I can relate to the intensity of the tasting itself. But your piece made me realize how much more goes into the preparation phase.

That’s exactly why a one-of-a-kind guide like the TMC is so valuable. Deeply appreciated, and I’m really looking forward to reading it.

Thank you so much Kazumi! Jeez, 80 wines in 4 hours! That sounds beyond exhausting. Even at Decanter judging, we 'only' taste around 80 wines per day, with a lunch break in the middle.

I am excited about the Brda guide, can't wait to unleash it on the world.
