As you can see, I have been lacking in posting for a little bit, and it's because of all this wine I am learning about and tasting it of course. It is simply fascinating how complex and interesting grapes can be. This picture was taken during the first lecture on France and their amazing whites, sparkling, and real Champagne wines. I have to be honest, but I never had a real Champagne before so yesterday I finally did, and oh I did celebrate it. We usually taste (and spit unfortunately) about 11 different wines a day, and 3 of them were Champagne, lined up by age.
The last and the oldest one was a true experience; a Brut, ''Orgueil de France'', Charles Laffite from Champagne 1989.Professor had even let us drink it, because it really would've been sad not to ;)
Today was France part II, and I am pretty sure 80% of the lecture was taught in French because of all those different region, grape and other names. At one point I just gave up! As amazing they are, French really want to give us a hard time with their wines. So that was one of my amazing wine experiences, but I am still making chocolates in the morning....
Weekend is finally here, yaaay! :))
