Nov. 4, 2009-I think
We have received Pisco Sours now everywhere we went. They are actually pretty good. We had one here as a hotel welcome, then one at dinner and one today at the Lapiz store....
We had a fish dinner last night, fish was good and best of all, didn{t come with the head attached. Early night and slept well. This a.m. was a city tour by hired bus where we saw the newest and oldest part of the city. We have a program director who will be with us the entire trip and we have a local guide in each location. It's pretty nice. We got the history of the government from his perspective under the dictatorship and now the lady president. It{s quite interesting.
This p.m. we went to a small family operated winery and the owner-winemaker showed us how a small vitner in Chile operates. We tasted his wine with home made empanadas in a picnic area which were delicious,
and then his wife fixed us casuela, a chicken soup for everyone.
Santiago is a very large city, but you look up at the snow covered Andes. This was a picture perfect day--warm weather, blue skies---perfect.

Yeah! Glad you are having a good time & the weather is good! Nice that you didn't waste any time finding a winery. :-)
So happy to hear that all is going well! can't wait to see the photos!
Glad to hear about what's going on during your trip. Also glad you avoided those fish heads! Hope the vintners recognized true wine afficionados and provided you with only their best.
Love the food reports. More importantly, how is the wine?
