Everybody likes free wine


This past weekend Dena and I were supposed to go to Brussels but we are such globe-trekkers we decided to bag that trip and stay in Geneva. Why you ask.....the Cave Overt, that's why. Brussels will be there for a long time but the Cave Ouvert only happens once a year. The same time every year the wineries around Geneva open their doors for tastings... free tastings. So we packed a lunch, met up with some friends and headed to the train station. We took am 11am train and got off about 20 min outside of Geneva in a small town called Staginy. There are about 4 wineries around this small town and we made it around to all of them to sample the goods. Some were better than others and we even bought 4 bottles by the end of the day. We had whites, roses, reds and some dessert wines. We didn't get back into Geneva until about 5pm so it was a long day but lots of fun. This weekend we are heading to London so lets hope it doesn't rain too much. Au revior
