"Something about @hamacherwines that reminded me about my father …that winery /vineyard felt like home to my heart and just resurrected memories of countless trips with my father …something about it felt like the beautiful Tuscany ,then it also felt like the little village of Limido, Comasco in the province of Como. I just needed pasta to complete the dejavu that place gave me," she writes.

The mother of five described her encounter with Hamacher saying, "Did I mention that we even met the owner who of course is a super awesome human …he offered our party his best wine and yes, that too reminded me of my father and how wine was a big deal in our house hold."

The delights that brought fond memories apparently had the side effect of loud cheer which Atim apologised for, "Cheers to @lexyhavunen for being patient with the obviously loud team of Ugandans."
