Colt45 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Sounds like a grand time. Seriously, does the sommelier actually taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PorscheC4S Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 » Sounds like a grand time. Seriously, does the sommelier actually taste? He probably goes around with a bucket tied around his neck, tasting and then wasting the wine:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taino Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 No fishing, just floating one of the rivers and riding horses. Fishing season starts in november. We were just checking the facilities. The sommelier just tastes the wine but never drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I am salivating :-P Drop me some details as we want to go fishing in Chile before the Habanos festival in 2007. Ken is doing the investigation which generally means it will go nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taino Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Stop doing research and give me a call or drop me an email, I know most of the region (including argentina) like the palm of my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skid11 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Baptist sommelier !!!!! This is someone who tastes the communion wine before the church congregation on sunday mornings to see that it is up to standard. What a great idea............:-) " A cheeky little red, with great body and lasting tannins, something our lord would approve of " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taino Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Spent my weekend in a fishing lodge located in the Chilean rain forest with some TV executives. We arrange a few activities there for them consisting mainly in eating and wine tasting with the Baptist sommelier (weirdest thing on earth, a sommelier who doesn’t drink) After almost 2 weeks of rain we had 3 days of pure sun and nothing else but the views of the Ades and volcanoes with snow to their feet. All that to say how much better I enjoy cigars when smoking outside, riding horses, having a good espresso and enjoying the view. ‘03 La China Robusto, ’01 Party Short, ’02 Monte N°2, ’05 Trini Reyes, ’98 Cohiba Robusto, was what kept me alive. All very enjoyable except for the reyes which to me need a year. :-P ...and lots of rivers and creeks run through it...;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
