Mmmmmm that Moravian wine tasting

Wine tasting Moravian style is quite a different experience to kiwi wine tasting. After a couple of tastings we explored the wine cellar then were taken to a cosier cellar where a table was set up for 6 with a variety of meat, cheeses, bread and pickles. As we nibbled we were treated to some more tastings including a smokey Chardonnay (which had been mellowed in a burnt cask) and some reds made from imported French grapes.

This was a very relaxed evening after a visit to the unesco heritage castle of Českÿ Krumlow which was hot and crowded but beautiful with its mixture of baroque and Renaissance painted walls followed by a long drive.
