There is one last winery, Cousio Macun, 3rd oldest in Chile, that we have not yet visited so we decide to take the metro and cab down there. We catch a tour in English and one last tasting. It’s a lovely old estate, now run by the 6th generation of same Italian owners. Part of it is now a historic monument but also an interesting museum of ancient wine making equipment. Also on our tour a nice young English couple touring around the world on a budget, Zoe and Sean. The 4 of us enjoy the interesting tour and tasting afterwards. Our great host/sommelier Giuseppi (Joe) adds a Syrah pour to the 4 nice wines. We then pay 10k (C$20) for ONE tasting of their awards winning Lot $160/bottle!) which is deemed pretty super by the 4 of us as we sip the red nectar.
We stop off en route home at the nice tapas bar for gazpacho and a fine chorizo tortilla (niece Hannah has got us hooked on these.)
I download a book from my local library. Doncha love this technological age. Reading for the long journey home tomorrow.
