September 30, 2013 – Spanish wine

While shopping for gifts in Madrid, I wondered, would my friend in Belgium prefer white or rosé? Heck, I got both, he can take his pick. Time to start packing again…

September 20, 2013 – Grape wall

Grapes line the vineyards of Saint-Émilion as they get ready to be harvested. Such a marvelous sight 🙂

August 28, 2013 – Cork

Yes, I admit, I’ve never managed to learn the right way of using a corkscrew to open a bottle of wine. Or maybe it’s just my cheap corkscrew that sucks. Just allow me to blame it instead 😀

June 03, 2013 – Wine bottle

How many bottles of wine have I drunk since coming to France?

November 24, 2012 – St.Emilion

I added a new item to my bucket list: to visit St.Emilion once in every month. So far I’ve done April, May, June, July, and the latest trip completes November. I still have one year for the rest of the months, which is probably doable. Here is a classic view of St.Emilion from the upper parts of the town, looking towards the old roofs with a vineyard in the foreground. The weather could not be more perfect, and my companion was fun and awesome 😉 Even after the fifth visit, this little wine town is still as charming as ever.
