Poetry in a Bottle

In October 2017, the first ever Team to represent Zimbabwe competed in France at the world blind-tasting championships. I found myself intrigued by the stories surrounding the team which consisted of four gentlemen, also known as the “Zim Somms.” A couple of months ago I reached out to one of the Sommelier’s, Joseph Dhafana (aka the Wine Poet) via Instagram. He responded immediately, graciously offering to send me some wine and indulge me in my questions and curiosity.
