"Both a wine bar and well-stocked shop, petite Carpe Diem is a casual, library-like oenophile hangout in Chișinău, the capital of Moldova. Carpe Diem also has a winery of the same name, which turns out such varieties as the delightfully dry white Feteasca Regală, and Bad Boys, a blend of plummy Feteasca Neagra and inky Saperavi grapes. But among Carpe Diem’s more than 150 selections, there are other Moldovan producers on display, like Novak and Chateau Vartely." - Alia Akkam
