Title
65. Zürcher Wein-Austellung (Weinschiff)
Description
Kath, Max and I went to the 65th Zürich wine expo in November. It's held every year on the lake of Zürich on several ships (eight, I think, but don't hold me to it).
Along the way, we learned about two wine events:
<ul>
<a href="https://www.fetedesvignerons.ch">Fête des Vignerons</a> in Vevey from 18. July to 11 August in 2019.
<a href="https://www.celliers.ch">Le premier Oenoparc au coeur du Valais</a> (open year-round)
</ul>
<h>Wines we tried (and liked)</h>
Obviously, we're moderate noobs and we tried a ton of wines and we failed to cleanse our palettes and sometimes we liked wines because the people were nice...but I kept careful notes despite my growing tipsiness and I figured it couldn't hurt to write them down. Why not? The store is full of wines I don't know---maybe I'll remember one of these names the next time I see a wine list.
The order is from the catalog, not the order in which we tried them.
