Home Away from Home

---

Well for all of you who know anything about wine.... know that Chile is a good place to be for that. I have enjoyed my trips to the vineyards. Needless to say it's always during the day so I'm tipsy just around lunch times during these trips. I don't know if I have felt as happy or tipsy as Oscar has during these trips but I think I have been pretty close. He's the director of Adelante for Chile and he's a funny little character when he's had a little to drink. Maybe it's the laugh when he has drank some wine, I'm not sure. We all had a great time each time I have gone. The first winery was called Indomita and had some really really good wine. We had more wine to drink there than at the second one. But the second winery gave cheeses and chocolates with you wine which brought out the flavors in the wine and made them taste that much better. I don't really remember the name of the second winery but I do remember the wine was GOOD!! Yeah you know me...the wino can't miss a free wine trip.
