Concha y Toro

Today we went on a tour of a famous winery, Concha y Toro (translated roughly to mean lees and bull). If you are like me, you have no idea what lees is so I will have you know that it is the insoluble matter that settles from a liquid. It was gorgeous and is basically in Santiago. They are famous for their Casillero del Diablo. This is the second time in two weeks I have descended into something named the Devil. Let's hope that it is just a coincidence and not a trend.


Things I learned:
The vines at this vina produce about two kilos of grapes.
It takes approximately one kilo to make a bottle of wine.
Chilled white wine in this heat is hard to beat.
I also learned how to properly test wine, but I can only show that in person and only when I am wearing my cocktail attire.

Welcome to a little piece of heaven on earth.

My artistic creativity astounds even me.
The wine was strong. I was stronger.

The fruit of the vine.

American Oak, it will be coming to a store near you. I recommend trying it.

This looks disgusting, but tastes divine. Fries, chicken, onions, hot dogs, and eggs, who knew?
