Ukraine has some good wine-growing areas in the south and in the west, and this welcoming little space is the place to sample them. Plenty of dry varietals from the likes of Odesa, Southern Bessarabia and Uzhhorod. You can taste before you buy. A glass of vino costs 50uah to 70uah and light bites and homegrown cheeses are available.
