Travel With Me Abroad

Hello to all.  I’m very excited for the opportunity to share my upcoming adventures through Themetrip.  In the next couple of months my husband and I will be starting a new chapter in our lives with our big move to Brussels, Belgium. 
A little about the upcoming blog and myself: 
I love food! While eating breakfast I’m already talking about dinner. I will be posting notes and pictures of where we dine, what we eat and sometimes what I cook.  
I love adventures! With my husband being in the Navy, we have had and have the ability to visit and experience places all over the world.  I will post about our travels and experiences while living in Belgium.

Wine Tasting

Last week I was in Le Chemin Des Vignes (wine shop).  I introduced myself to one of the employees and explained that Adam and I were still learning about French wines.  He was very nice and invited us to his upcoming wine tasting.  I asked him the price and he said that there was no price, because he invited us.  I took a picture of the shop as I was leaving so I could remember the name and where it was.
Unfortunately, Adam came down with a cold that weekend.  I didn’t want to cancel so I asked my friends who have a little one if they could join me.  “One of us will go with you, not sure who…” I was pretty excited that the last minute invite worked out. 
The walk to the shop was not very pleasant.  Down pour with winds up to 25mph.  The umbrella was useless.  I was a wet mess by the time I walked into the shop. 
There were a total of 8 persons tasting.  Guess what we tasted first? Moonshine! Moonshine from Tennessee.  This was the best Moonshine that I have ever had.  It was so smooth and tasted like a dessert.  The first one was cinnamon apple.  I said first one, because we had two more Moonshine tastings.  After the Moonshine we started with wine.  3 white wines and 4 red wines.  During our tasting we were given a plate of prosciutto, salami and bread. The employee would talk in French about the wines and then he would talk to Colleen and I in English.  One of the wines we tasted reminded me of a Zinfandel.  Nobody at the tasting including the employee new what a Zinfandel was.  When I got home Adam and I were talking about Zinfandel.  After I did some research I think people around here might know Zinfandel as a Primativo.  Zinfandel has an interesting background.   
The wines at the tasting were delicious.  The wines we tasted ranged from 6.95 euro to 10.00 euro a bottle.  The Moonshine was 29.95 euro.  We started at 2:00pm and didn’t leave until 4:45pm.  That was a great way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon.  We are going back for a Scotch tasting at the end of the month.
Cheers!

    About Nakoma

    I have always had a passion for Art.  After attending five colleges (Navy families move…a lot) I earned my BA in Art History.  I’m thinking our first few tours will be art, art, art and then food, food, food.  I will post information about the tours we do.  

    Please note, that my blog posts will not be consistent.  We have a very busy, and fun schedule ahead of us, that might limit my time to post. 


    For those who plan to follow, enjoy!

    Cheers!
