The wine seller was Davorin Mesesnel, his body shaped by lifework in the vineyards and the heavy wine barrels he moves. The wine cellar was the basement of his house in the wine village of Goče. It had an arched brick ceiling. I was there to sample his wine. The Cask of Amontillado by Poe came to mind, a cautionary tale for all wine lovers. Luckily, I had no beef with Davorin, and he had no beef with me, though he did have excellent homemade prosciutto and cured sausage.
