Drunk!!!

Got up and had a lazy start... just in time to join the half day Afternoon Delight Tour! quite expensive ne....but i really didn't know what else to do...so joined it anyways...

Started off to the Wineries..the first one was Houghton...sth like that...
The wine....errrr....we tasted 6.....i only liked 1...3 whites and 3 red....the Classic Blanc (which is basically Burgandy) is the best..the others all are really strong..
This Winery was nice....its the largest of Australia and 2nd oldest of the region...
The vineyards were beautiful!! and the pine trees....the purple flowers trees.......

That was ok....then next to a smaller winery....sampled 8 wines....again, started with whites..the first 2 was nice....one was Chenin? and the other was a Chardonney,...(ok..excuse for my spelling..)..then i started to get drunk. haaa...
Luckily they had some cheese, dips and olives to sample as well. OMG! The cheese and the dip was SOOOO goood! even the dip wasn;t produced there, I bought a box! haaaaaa...
I never like eating olives...but damn, their olives were goooood!=P
The end was tasting some Shiraz...ooo...this grape makes STRONG wine.....dunlike...>_<"

OK, was drunk, followed the to 3rd winery. Here, they had muscat.....its sweet!! I like!!! but the alcohol content of them were also very high.....its sweet and fruity with a very strong alcohol smell.....that, i didn't like.
Here we also had cheeseboard....nuts and dried fruits.....the blue cow cheese was salty!!!!!! the others were really good..=)

My head was so dizzy at this point....i just wanted to sleep..
but next off its a brewery sampling!!!!! I tasted this beer called the Maze....its a litrtle stronger than the regular lagar.....i liked it actually!!!!! too bad they ran out of the black....
but I was do drunk...I couldnt even finish the sampling glass.....-____-"

Last we headed to the Chocolate Factory...more like a big chocolate store...
but we get to choose all the truffles we like to try so that was nice.....I ate to a point where my throat hurts!!! HAAAAAA, they had really nice chocolate milk and sauce!! but all came in such large bottles and somehow....felt it was kinda a touristy ripoff....so didn't buy any.

Finally on the way back, slept like a pig...haaa.

Tomorrow will be an early day by the sea!!! WOOOHOOOO!
