Chile Day 1 - Santiago City Tour

No matter where you travel a great way to see the city sights is via a city tour. I woke up today without even the slightest feeling of jetlag (it must have been all the sparkling wine we drank last night that did it), and grabbed some breaky with the team and then set off to a day in Santiago.

Before jumping on the tour bus we were able to meet our west coast wine counter parts who have been in Chile and on their wine trip since last Wednesday (and we got some inside scoop on some great wines and cool adventures to come) and together the 10 of us were off to see the City. I could go on and on about the day - but the pictures speak for themselves. I have posted 3 below but to see the full pics from the day head to the iYellow Flickr Page>>

My Ontario wine patriots on the trip with me are: Graham Duncan from Now Magazine, Lindsay Groves Sommelier, Writer and Salute Wine Festival, Evan Saviolidis from Wine Savvy and David Rose.

Stay tuned for more on my Chilean Wine Adventure!
