every year starting with November 30, I am creating a line up of wines that I take out of my wine fridge in order to try until Christmas and New Years' Eve; I am trying to taste a variety of wines but focus on quality and wines that have received good reviews; so this is wine no25 and wine no26 of my personal Christmas advent calendar for 2022.
