Wine Tasting Adventure in California

[Julien44]

Hi @KarenVChin 

Thanks for tagging me in this post. Full of discoveries with good explanations and amazing pictures!

First time I hear about the Iron Horse, I would love to try it....

It is funny to see @ErmesT  hidden behind objects, it is the same here when I take 360.

Have a nice day,

Jul

@KarenVChin, it sounds a very smart approach from Iron Horse. I remember to have seen in some great Ermes's post that beautiful bottle bought there 😊👍

Getting caught in action is the funniest part of taking 360° @Julien44 , and @KarenVChin is a specialist in this kind of "candid" photos.

Wine tasting philosophy is quite interesting in there @Giuseppe75 , and I think this is also related to the price of the wine, that is completely different from the Italian price.

Yesterday I visited a winery, that was adhering to "Cantine aperte" program 2019.

We tried 4 different wines (we would have tested more, but I had to drive back home), with local salami, and Taralli to clean your mouth after every wine, for free.

We bought 3 bottles (Prosecco, Rosè, Pinot grigio) for 21 €. The place is beautiful, but we explore also other winery, as we are looking for the location where to held our Wine meet-up 2019. If you check the photos on the business listing, the most recent are mine. Here is also my review

Hi @KarenVChin, thanks for the tag, interesting indeed.

@KarolTthank you for the information. I know the Tokaj white wine, very very nice, I like it because of the strong flavor and high sugar presence similar to a Sauvignon, which is my favorite type of wine.

@ermest do you know it?

I had a very nice bottle of it at a very typical place called Vineria Caino, near Ivrea, don't remember the name of bottle unfortunately because it was more than a year ago, this place is very known for the best "tigelle" of the area, a very typical type of bread.

Hi @LuigiZ @ErmesT @Giuseppe75 @KarenVChin 

Tokaji wines are very special. The putna selection wines has levels from 3 to 5 according to cibebas amount.

This winery master on the photo is last one, producing wine by classic oxidating methode.

Ciao @ErmesT, I just saw now your message about the winery you visited and checked your review, very good one, thank you!

[LuigiZ]

Very nice @KarolT, thank your the pictures!

@ErmesT - I am not going to comment too much here as I wait for your winery recap post. lol

But I must say, did you try the Prosecco Grappa? What is the difference between the bottles you shown on Maps? And Pre-Congrats on reaching to Level 9 - less than 600 points to go!

Cheers,

Karen

@KarolT - I need to find a bottle of Slovakian wine now. Any particular brand of Tokaji wines to look for?

Cheers,

Karen
