Vino 3

Franschhoek is my new favorite little wine town in South Africa. It is also my only. But let's don't let that confuse the issue.

It's cute, it's small, they have coffee and chocolate shops all over the place, and lots an lots of wine. Delightful.

We strolled a bit, took some pictures, then headed to do our 3rd and final wine tatsing of the day (well... We might have had some wine after getting home).

Again I've forgotten the winery name because I just wouldn't buy their wine.

The real highlight? They paired the 5 wines with five *Marshmallows*.

Yep. You read that correctly. Fluffy sugar candy as a wine pairing. This is the first time I've experienced that... And it is also my last. Marshmallows are hands-down the worst wine pairing I've ever had. The trip description said "chocolate pairings" this was not a good substitute.

Unsurprisingly, the wines tended toward sweet and I am definitely a dry-wine fan.

But hey, part of the fun of travel is discovering new things and new ideas, no?Weiterlesen
