Isabelle’s journey into Central and Eastern European wine takes her to the beautiful Bulgaria, the heart of the heart of the Balkans. Here yoghurt, salad and grape spirit feed the country’s maverick mettle that produces wines as wild as the people themselves. This is the country that gave the world the ancient God of Wine in whose honour Bacchanalian orgies were thrown. It is also the ancient land of Thrace whose wine exports were legendary and coveted by the ancient Greeks. Isabelle unearths this rich history and sees where wine is at today. She tastes her way round the same local varietals that graced the tables of Homer and Churchill alike, and pays a visit to one of the world’s most famous Bordeaux producers who’s decided to set up shop in Bulgaria as well!
