Nachos, Wine, and Exploring

Nachos

Wine

For lunch today, we decided to eat in at the pizzeria, hoping to take advantage of some of the lunch specials. First we stopped at the store to pick out a wine as the pizza place is bring your own and supposedly offers free corkage at lunchtime. We chose a Jacob’s Creek Shiraz Rosé (for both price and color appeal) with fresh raspberry and cherry flavors and a hint of spice. I don’t drink much, but I did like the taste and mouthfeel of this wine. It was fairly sweet and easy to drink. I cannot wait for my wine theory and analysis course next year so I can learn more about drink pairings. I’m not sure the wine was the best match for pizza fare, but oh well. Although I thought the pizzeria had lunchtime specials such as soups and sandwiches, there were none today. So we decided to try the homemade nachos with guacamole and bruschetta dip for something different, along with a garlic mushroom supreme pizza to share. Both of which were good, as expected. 

Old oven

In the evening, once the weather decided to stop raining on and off, we ventured out for a long walk. We began on the estate, a small path through the forest where we found an old bunker, with an old oven still distinguishable inside. We walked on to a field and many paths meant for horseback riding, we found many horse jumps, a horse pounds, and even a horseshoe. There were nice views of the lake outside the castle, and the countryside. It was very fun exploring. Back to work tomorrow!
