Swiss and other wine news: great harvest, autumn fun, future of fairs

27/09/2018 by Ellen Wallace Leave a Comment

Golden harvest of 2018 Grapes are in the air, literally, with the Swiss harvest moving out of the vineyards and into the cellars, where fermentation is adding pungent aromas to wine villages across the country. Facebook and Instagram images from wineries abound now, most of them featuring the finest grapes we’ve seen in a few […]
