Gustation

Wine tasting day! Woo! Professor Dekeister took the whole lot of us to the Wine House about nine kilometers away so that we could sample their wares. It was a good time - they had us in a gustatorium that had built-in sinks for spitting, although I cringed every time anyone leaned over to spit. To the left is the second one we tried, which had a nutty bouquet. I don't like tannins in general so red wines aren't my cup of tea, so to speak. The first one that we had was a very very nice white wine from one of the more western regions in the Languedoc area.

Weirdly, they had this gigantic pots all around the outside of the Wine House, so naturally Katy and I chose to peek out of one for a photo op. Joe took this picture, scared all the while that we would force him into the pot as well.

And this is just a random photo that I took about ten minutes ago while Katy was at the ATM, right before she was accosted by an elderly woman who first asked for a euro and then, when refused, asked for any money at all. They had an accordian going outside so it was great ambiance.
