Wine tasting at Solms-Delta
The wine tasting at Solms-Delta was super-entertaining. The tasting expert was a descendant of the people who for centuries worked in the farm's vineyards - picking grapes and helping to turn them into wine. He kept our crowd of 20 people entertained with stories of the farm's history, tales of deceit and murder, and about how the various wines got their interesting names.
I'm not a connoisseur, so I can't comment on the quality of the wine - but it appeared as though the experienced people in our group were pleasantly surprised by both the quality and quantity of wine they tasted. ;)
