Hi All Around the World!
Well, I know it has been a
while for an update but we have some exciting news! We are on the road
checking out the various regions that are prime locations for exquisite
wine. First stop, Prince Stirbey's Winery. All I have to say is
BREATHTAKING! I can't compare this place to anything else on this world!
It is truly amazing! A piece of heaven, GREAT WINE, and a boutique type
winery.
We met the owners!!! The Baron and Baroness! Who
can say they had lunch with such great company of a Baron and Baroness.
Well, we can and they were so hospitable, we tried wine that is unique
to Romania and this region. So no one else in the world has grapes quite
like these, nor can they pronounce them :) My favourite, The
Frankincense of grapes... Tamaioasa! A lot of other regions like
Romanian wine and those that are native here because they never heard of
them! Let alone the taste! Wow, brilliant, such an array of various
flavours, taste, smell, aroma, sweet, dry, you name it, the variety is
here and unqiue.
THERE is so much opportunity here. Wineries are just starting to be placed side by side and the economy is growing and prospering which is always nice to see :) The industry is traced back as far as 5000 to 6000 years old! This specific region is located on a hill - great soil and clay terroir to trap the heat :)
Enjoy the Pics!!!
Heading up to the hill...many wineries along the way.
