Wine Tasting

I'm not much of a wine drinker, but when our friend invited us to go to a free wine tasting in an Enoteca (wine shop) on Thursday, we couldn't say no.

Yep, that is a 3,600 euro bottle of champagne

The downstairs wine cellar

The fancy dining/tasting room

That is a lot of wine bottles

Kristen checking out the wine while Scott takes notes in his wine book. He is taking a wine tasting class this semester and has some experience so we didn't look completely clueless (even though we probably still did).

The second (out of 3) bottle we tasted, with slight hints of chocolate, that Scott picked out!

Salute!

Kristen checking out how thick the wine is (by looking at how long is takes to drip down the sides after you stir it, thicker means more alcohol) and the color.

Some cool, old, and expensive bottles of balsamic vinegar

Now I have to go to bed so I can get up extremely early for my trip to France tomorrow! Be on the lookout for that post after I get back :)
