Day 5 -LFE, Montes, Casa Lapostolle

Memories of Day 5 in Chile....

Winery #1 - Luis Filip Edwards
  • Arriving at a winery that has vineyards planted on very high mountains (I believe it is the only winery in Chile to plant vineyards on such a high elevation)
  • taking a truck up the mountain to see the top of it and driving through vineyards all the way yup
  • seeing a gorgeous great dane and a kumquat tree
  • tasting the very first vintage of the "Hilltop" wines from LFE - amazing wines.
Winery #2 -Montes
  • Pulling into a beautiful Feng Shui winery
  • spending time in the Montes "Symphony" cellar while Gregorian monk chant type music played. The idea behind it is that the music will help to harmonize the wine
  • tasting wines such as the Montes Purple Angel, Alpha, Folly & Alpha M
  • if you find these wines - TRY THEM!! They are delicious!
Winery #3 - Casa Lapostolle
  • seeing a beautiful winery built into a mountain
  • receiving a tour of the building with great architcture
  • entering into the "Star Trek" Cellar
  • standing in the "beam me up Scott" part of the wine cellar
  • being able to drool at Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle's homestead - holy fack what an amazing way to live
  • tried some ok wines, they weren't amazing, but ok.
  • the pictures are great make sure you see them!
