I came to Düsseldorf to taste some wine, and that I did.  I didn’t realize I would be tasting wine from 6 of the 7 continents*.  That I would taste wine from Bulgaria (good), Moldova (ok), Kosovo (terrible, but please don’t tell them, I hear they have a temper).

We started out strong (it really could only go downhill from here) with some Port.  Yes that 50 year old port on the left did make into my face.

I thought it was sweet someone named a wine after my old schnauzer.

I learned here that there is such a thing as too much Amarone

Funny people at the convention.

I guess I liked this.  But then I generally do like this type of wine.

This guy is telling us  about the 40 year old Champagne we’re about to taste.

That’s mine in the foreground.  Too bad you can’t smell or taste it.

Bulgarian wines.

Hungarian wines.

The many wine glasses of Riedel.
