June 5, Wine Tasting

Today was our wine tasting day.  We went to the Bordeaux region, which produces all the red wines listed in the 1855 Classification except one.  What is the 1855 Classification you ask?  Well, we learned everything it isn't from wine expert Dewey Markham, Jr.  It was fun listening to him talk about everything wine since we know next to nothing about it!  Anyway, a fun day and also got to do a little sunning on the boat since it was actually hot this day!
Here is the Chateau Pichon Longueville, and our wine expert, Dewey, is talking.
Here we are in front of the Chateau, also Dewey and our guide for the tour.


And the tasting!  This is Ash with Rob.


And last, a picture with the Bradshaws, good friends with our good friends the Brinkman's from Charlottesville!
And back to the boat!  The music is coming from the crew having a little crew party!  And they are...

...roasting a pig for our "Barbecue" tonight!  Except that this barbecue had filet mignon and roasted pig!

And what would a barbecue be without a sing-a-long with the crew!!
