I used to collect wine, much of it from top Napa wineries. I can taste the high quality Malbec behind that soft dose of sweetness. Everyone is used to cloying, featureless sweetness in their Kagor. Your wine has depth — I would drink it even if it weren’t chalice wine :-). It even makes me wonder what it tastes like with chocolate, because it reminds me a bit of Banyuls in its tannic sweetness. But I’m most happy about how happy it makes everyone at trapeza!! - Tikhon, 2020

I have been taking 3-5 bottles of the monastery wine on trips to Russia ..... the priest recipients have told everyone about the wonderful gift....if only the monastery shipped to Russia! There would be many orders. - Elena, 2020
