Wine & Cheese Tasting

We've moved to Happy Valley and are loving our new location. It is so much easier to get around and enjoy many of the things Hong Kong has to offer. For example... wine and cheese tastings on the weekends! While strolling around in Causeway Bay after lunch, we walked the lobby of a building and saw tables set up and people sipping wine. Upon further investigation we realized they were attending a wine and cheese tasting. We walked in to find out how you sign up and were told the tastings are sponsored by France and are free. Most of the tastings for the next few weekends were booked up but we put our names on the waiting list. Much to our surprise, we received a call a few hours later to say they had an opening at that afternoon's tasting. We hopped in a taxi and five minutes later had a plate of cheese in our hands.

And five glasses of wine to sample

We were asked to analyze the pairings of wines and cheeses and Daniel took that job very seriously..

Lightweights that we are we got pretty drunk by the end of the tasting. It didn't help that we both really loved the first wine (actually a champagne) and they filled up our glass quite a few times. We hopped on a bus on our way home and rode it around several times because we forgot how to ask the driver to stop in Cantonese and we wanted to see where the bus went after our stop. We also took turns taking the "Lee Gardens" sticker you see on Daniel's shirt and putting it on each other's foreheads. 

Such a fun day!
