wine tasting









Recently we had the opportunity to go wine tasting through a school organized trip (14 dollars including transportation woot!) at Cousino Macul. Located just outside Santiago this vina was constructed by French architects in 1870 and has a special ventilation system that year round is the perfect temperature. Not only is it beautiful it's extremely profitable! We learned alot like Chilean wines are actually profiting off of global warming--all the wines they have made since 2001 have been good (while French wine is struggling with the global warming ! :( le sad). Our tour guide was really nice and informative. And the wines were delicioussss. We got to try two wines--one was a pink cabernet and the other a regular cabernet. So delicious! I cant wait to try more! Mmmm. Wine is so cheap here its ridiculous..living in Bordeaux part 2 for me. Haha. Maybe I can claim some sort of expertise by the time I leave!
Besos a todos!
