Wine, Wine and More Wine!

So my blogging has sucked! I am sorry for that so lets catch up!!!

So last Friday we went to Chianti for a wine tasting in a Castle and a typical Tuscan Dinner. It was seriously amazing and I am not a huge wine drinker but this was like tears from the gods. 

We started the tour at a Castle in Chianti called Castello Querceto. Here the Chianti wine is bottled and produced from over 60 acres of vineyards, the castle sits on 200 acres in the region. It was unbelievable. I drank wine in castle? Someone pinch me. 

Here are some of the barrels of the wine. I was ready to just open the spout and drink it. 

This is the first bottles they ever produced in 1904. They recently opened a bottle and it was still good and delicious. I asked if they would open one for me and they did! Just kidding… 

A typical wine tasting meal of cheese, salami and crostini . So delicious. 

 First wine!

 Cheers!

 Second glass! 

Third Dessert wine, which we dipped biscotti into 

After the wine tasting we had a tour through some of the Chianti towns including the birth place of Verezzano. So cool. 

Afternoon snack :D 

We ended up in a Tuscan Restaurant where we feasted on a meat sauce, a regular spicy red sauce, pork and sausage and beans. And of course tiramisu – a typical Tuscan dinner. I wish I could relive this!
