My first wine tasting ! Quite nice I would say ... though it still dint have any major effect on my pallet. I still wouldn't say that I enjoyed it. I just let my dear tongue get a feel of what all was out there. And it responded by, "we're not missing much babe !!"
I tried white wine and rose. Red, I've always liked the least, so I just stayed away from it. There were about 12 counters, I tried one wine from most of them. Some did not have rose wines, so I skipped them altogether. Some I had already tried before, like Château Indage, so dint again !
We went early to skip the crowd, and we did succeed. There were just few people there, mostly oldies. Also, it was quite sunny, glad I was wearing airy clothing. Though, I did wish I had carried along a hat ! Soon the place began to fill up, and youngsters started to come in. I did happen to see some good-lookin men ;) Also, there were some people showing of their great knowledge of wine.. there was a guy (Indian, who made wine in Australia) who just went on and on and on ! Uff ! There was a lovely live band. They played some lovely numbers. The vocalist was real good.
The food counters were ok. We tried a Shawarma roll and some kebabs. Both were average, nothing great. there was a gelato stall, which had 2 flavors made of wine - Merlot and Strawberry & Champagne. Both were goooood ! One of the girls at the stalls was wearing black stockings (god I pitied her.. to wear that in such heat !!!)
There was an art exhibition, I loved some of the paintings. They were so simple, yet so damn beautiful. I was left quite inspired. A 'Cooking with wine' show was to be held, but it got delayed coz the chef had an accident or something. We left coz we couldn't wait any longer in the sun. It was a fun outing though, dad n I, after a long time.
Here are some pics from the festival.
