Thanks to @cameronhobbs.bsky.social for hosting #BlindDrams last night. A very mixed selection on nose and taste and some that split the room score wise, as always a good laugh on the zoom cheers π₯ #onlinetasting #tastingwithmates
Very enjoyable and interesting selection of drams @cameronhobbs.bsky.social, thank you π₯π
