Wine + Lifestyle
welcome to toro tries wine
Toro tries wine was born as a panacea to the intimidating and complex world wine would have you think it occupies.
Hello! I’m Daphne.
Oenology (the study of wines) is the perfect mix of science and art, geography and gardening, history and present day, but it doesn’t have to be that complicated. Wine is a way to bring people together, socialise and compliment meals. It signals that we’ve reached the point of the week where we can regroup and relax.

Want to contact me? I’d love to hear from you…
