The Bessi were a tribe of Thracians and the Bessa Valley within the Thracian Valley of the Thracian Lowlands is their namesake. Bessa Valley Winery was founded in 2001 when 800 properties were purchased for its creation. German Count Stephan von Neipperg, owner of Bordeaux's Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere and La Mondotte, assists with the winery's production. The Count wanted to be a part of bringing quality wine back to Bulgaria. He's quoted as saying "I’ve chosen Bulgaria because of the magnificent terroir. With Enira we revive the image of the Bulgarian wines worldwide."

I've got three wines by Domain Bessa Valley lined up to finish off Bulgarian Wine Month! I started with their Petit Enira 2011, then I had their Enira 2009, and now I'm sweeping up with their Enira 2010.
The Enira 2010 is 50% Syrah, 40% Merlot, and 10% Petit Verdot. So it's just a little less complicated of a blend than the 2009 vintage. and gone from a Merlot based blend to a Syrah based blend in just one year. First selection is handpicked on the vineyard, then carefully selected again on sorting tables. Rather than crushing the grapes, juice is drained by gravity / the weight of the grapes. Cold maceration of whole berries is performed from 5 to 8 days at 14 – 16 C. Alcohol fermentation with addition of selected yeast strains is controlled at 26-28 C during 8-10 days, in order to reach 3-4 g/l residual sugar, followed by maceration from 5 to 8 days in concrete tanks. Malolactic fermentation continues in the tanks, then aging for about 12 months in oak barrels.
For wine bloggers that review wines the ultimate nightmare is a faulty bottle, which is usually why we prefer two samples per item. I publish full reviews every Thursday and Sunday (except for the Sundays when I post a monthly article), and then post quickies all over the place. Everything is carefully scheduled sometimes months in advance, depending on demand. But I usually write the two reviews for the next week on a Wednesday night, giving me plenty of time before they're published, just in case of a faulty bottle situation or a family emergency or anything else pops up. That way I have enough time to make it up or can fill it in with a replacement.
Well that nightmare almost became reality tonight. This cork crumbled. Hard. Just look at the mess that was made when all was said and done and I had access to the liquid inside. It fell apart like it was nothing each time I twisted the screw in there and tried to pull it out. That is not a good sign.
But surprisingly what I found was a beautifully raisinated juice bomb not so different from the 2009 vintage, only with more body and more oomph. Raspberry liqueur. Cinnamon sugar. Cherries, mint, and chocolate. The same exact profile; only it has more gusto in character and astringency in tannin than it's predecessor, which was more lush and elegant.
This bad boy is a boss. For $26 I would pick it over a Valpolicella at the same price, but for the discounted price of $19 on BulgarianWine.com it's a goddamn steal. Get it now: https://bulgarianwine.com/wines/enira-2010/
This wraps up another Bulgarian wine month and, as always, it was a lot of fun filled with excellent wines! Thank you, Vance!

I downloaded a crypto wallet app that appeared legitimate, complete with a sleek interface and positive user reviews. Trusting my instincts, I deposited a substantial amount of $180,000 into the wallet, convinced that I was making a wise investment. However, my optimism quickly turned to despair when I woke up one morning to find that the entire platform had vanished overnight, along with my hard-earned money. The scammers had executed their plan flawlessly, shutting down the app and leaving me with nothing but empty promises and a drained account. In a state of panic and fury, I scoured the internet for solutions, desperately seeking a way to recover my lost funds. It was during this frantic search that I stumbled upon Passcode Cyber Recovery , a company that specializes in tracking and recovering stolen cryptocurrency. Intrigued and hopeful, I reached out to their team, who moved swiftly to address my situation. The experts at Passcode Cyber Recovery identified the scammer’s accounts and were working diligently with legal authorities to freeze those assets. While I understood that no recovery is guaranteed, Passcode Cyber Recovery provided me with a fighting chance, something I had thought was impossible after the app had disappeared without a trace. Their professionalism and expertise instilled a sense of hope in me during a time of despair. This traumatic experience taught me two critical lessons that I wish I had learned before: first, never trust unverified wallet apps, and second, never deposit large sums of money without conducting thorough research.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, having already been victimized by a fraudulent wallet or exchange, don’t lose hope. Passcode Cyber Recovery specializes in these exact scenarios where apps suddenly go offline, taking your money with them.

Fake Wallet App Scam review // PASSCODE CYBER RECOVERY
ReplyDeleteWhat began as a straightforward effort to manage my crypto savings quickly turned into a distressing ordeal. I had been holding Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP, and decided to download what seemed to be a legitimate cryptocurrency wallet app from the App Store. The interface was flawless, closely resembling the official wallet I had previously used. With no apparent warning signs, I felt secure enough to transfer $850,000 worth of Bitcoin into the app. A few days later, I opened the app to check my balance, only to be met with shock when my crypto account displayed a balance of zero. I attempted to refresh the app, hoping it was just a temporary glitch, but the grim truth soon became clear: I had fallen prey to a sophisticated scam. The app was a fraudulent imitation, designed solely to deceive users and siphon off their funds.I contacted Passcode Cyber Recovery, a cybersecurity firm renowned for recovering stolen digital assets. Their team promptly initiated an investigation into the scam. Within days, they traced the counterfeit wallet app back to a developer located overseas, who had a history of similar fraudulent activities. I soon learned that I was not alone, this was part of a larger scheme targeting cryptocurrency users worldwide. Thanks to Passcode Cyber Recovery , I managed to recover all of the money I had lost. The recovery process was intense, but their efforts paid off, and I was able to retrieve the full amount of $850,000. This has reinforced my commitment to safeguarding my digital assets. I now thoroughly vet app developers and only trust links from the official websites of reputable crypto platforms. While the incident was both financially and emotionally taxing, the successful recovery of my funds has provided me with a sense of relief and security moving forward.
