Black Teeth Sunday

Last Sunday was devoted to Dionysus. Gatín and I spent eight hours on the Wine05 fair in Zürich tasting wine.

Everything started at noon with a Concert del Vino. A selection of nine top Italian wines were proffered. Australian pianist Peter Waters had selected nine pieces of music, which describe the wines musically. Peter Waters interpreted the selected composition on the piano, while we were tasting the wine accompanied. This tasting cost a worth CHF 150. Thanks to Gatín's excellent connections, we'd got a couple of seats for a smile.

We kept tasting the whole afternoon until our teeth were black. Even with making notes, this was far to hard work for the seventh day. One has to concentrated really hard to not loose track. Despite our hard effort, time run out before we were able to taste any French wines. However, close to the end of the day, we were able to grab some cream of the crop Champagne. It was accompanied with Fossier's delicious Biscuits Roses de Reims.

Although, we had a beer after the fair, I was dreaming of wine and nothing but wine.
