Sunday, November 11
We went on a wine tasting which was held on a boat in Lausanne. They had wines from Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, Australia and the USA. We started off carefully taking notes which, despite our efforts, degenerated to scrawl. First we had white regional wines from our area called “La Cote”, the coast of Lake Geneva. Very light and refreshing, with some effervescence. Then we moved on to the reds and decided to try the really expensive ones first to see if we could tell the difference when we went back to our price range. In hindsight, perhaps we did not approach this correctly, that is to say, our palates and ability to perceive differences had become, uh, blurry. But we continued tasting as we had taken the train and were not worried about our return home.

Right now, we are enjoying the Beaujolais Nouveau just out a few weeks ago and which only lasts a short time. E has discovered that placing a bottle on the window sill outside brings the wine to the perfect temperature. Our private wine cellar, three floors up.
