Barberry Garden

Welcome to my independent dive into the world of wine.

I'm Boris Buliga, and this site is where I track my tasting notes, share scores, and document wines and winemakers that catch my attention. You'll also find results from tastings - both those I organise (check the event calendar) and those I join with permission to collect scores.

Over time, the site has grown beyond my own notes. Once a year, I publish summaries with some simple analytics - you'll find the latest ones pinned below.

If you've ever taken part in one of our tastings, you have a personal page here - quietly evolving over time. If you've forgotten how to access it, just drop me a line.

P.S. I'm not a sommelier, and I have no ties to importers or wine shops. This is a personal project - driven by curiosity, and supported in part by those who choose to sponsor the project.
