We strolled down the hill towards the vineyard

Passing through a tiny village with a couple of stores

You could feel time slowing down in this sleepy little place

In contrast the vineyard was quite busy with busloads of visitors taking tours

We had booked a wine tasting combined with dinner

I counted 8 empty glasses at my place setting and 8 bottles at the end of the table

A detailed description of each wine from our sommelier with advice on what food to pair had us all salivating

The wines were all spectacular and his pairing advice was spot on

We grazed and sipped for hours

Then he started to bring out more bottles for us to sample

I lost count after 12 tastings

The table became a sea of wine glasses

I think the wines got better

But it was hard to remember the names

We did order a bunch of wines to be shipped home

I don’t remember which wines we ordered

Thankfully they had a shuttle service to take us back to the hotel

We all slept soundly that night

No jetlag

Wine cures everything
