This summer and fall we couldn’t get enough of Polish wine! Starting in June 2019 we attended the Bialo Czerwone Polish Wine Festival in Warsaw. Top winemakers from various regions of Poland descended on Warsaw to share their wines with attendees who gladly spent two days at Forteca Kregliccy, meeting them and tasting everything from sparkling wine, to Rose, orange wine, whites and reds.
