In events: Wine-tasting Klassiek Europa, Noordwijk

Note to self: use the camera on your phone more, like at least once.

Yesterday, at the Klassiek Europa event at the beach in the Netherlands, I met a lot of cool wine-affectionados, a number of wine-professionals, and drunk a lot, too much wine. Rule 101 of wine-tasting is really to spit out the wine—it might look disgusting, and you won't get drunk as quickly, but you'll still get drunk.

Good countries that I remember (note to self: take pictures of bottles):

• A red wine from Italy—yum, fruity!


• A white dry wine from Spain—yum, dry!


• A white Riesling from Germany—yum, dry!


• A white quasi-Riesling from the Netherlands—omg, I've never tasted anything so horrible in my life.

Was hoping to track down a white German whine that I tasted in Luxembourg and was the best I ever had, but I didn't.
