Wine Touring like a champ!

This past weekend my friends and I cruised out to one of the most well known vineyards in Chile: Concha y Toro. Apparently it's sold around the world so next time you're looking for a new wine to try, check out Concha y Toro - it's delish.

It was pretty easy to get out there - about an hour or so on the metro and the bus. Although the vineyard really wasn't too far from the city center, it felt like a world away. Before our tour, we decided to eat lunch at the vineyard restaurant. Also delish. I got a seafood soup with, I swear, everytime of seafood imaginable and a glassy of Chardonnay that was recommended to accompany the seafood.

I between the food, the wine and a few desserts we ended up spening over 2 hours at that table chatting away the day. Such a good time. We finally managed to drag ourselves away from the table to go on our tour of the Vineyard and the cellars within. The day was kinda drab and it was too early in the season to see any grapes so in my opinion, the lunch was the highlight.

And completely unrelated to the vineyard... Sunday was my host Dad's birthday. We had a bunch of family and friends over for the asado and I would say a good time was had for all. At the vineyard I bought him a small bottle of "Late Harvest" which was really sweet so I thought he'd like it (I think all Chileans like sweet things). He was thrilled with the gift and I hope had a great day.
