Today, five of us went wine tasting. I didn’t think I would make it as I was feeling feverish and had muscle pain all night but I was fine in the end. I wasn’t really surprise to feel like this as everybody has been ill but it is funny how I felt awful during the night and was totally fine during the day.
We started our tour by going to the Old Biscuit Mill, which is a food market. We bought some breakfast and food for a
Just one more I promise....
picnic. Then, we went to a first winery call Vergelegen. The Sauvignon Blanc was very nice. Afterwards, we went to a second winery call Blaauwklippen. My favourite wine there was the zinfandel.
I went on a wine tasting trip to France earlier on this year and the main difference for me was the size of the places. If they have Chateaux in France, here, they have manors that go on forever! And the impressive thing is that a lot of them were privately own until very recently.
We finished our day by visiting the town of Stellenbosch in the middle of the wine region. It reminded me of some of the small towns on the east coast of America. It was very peaceful and friendly. I had a great day.
