Geneva Journals- The Open Wine Cellar Day

My next door neighbour, T was up for a wine tasting experience at Geneva. Geneva Canton, along with few partners hosted a Open wine cellar day where we can walk into the wine cellars and try out different wine at different places in Geneva Canton. 

At ease, we started day and headed to Cornavin to get onto the train. It seemed like whole Geneva is on it's way to the wine cellars. We got down at Satigny and walked to register ourselves and received an engraved wine glass- Swiss Wine. We walked down and tried out different wine. Over a walk, we went to a cellar. Sometimes with a conversations and some silences, we walked across sharing our lives. We tried out different wines, trying to get the texture, taste and fragrance of it. The attentive and attuned you are, the differences one could experience in different wine. Sometimes by colour, sometimes by name, we tried  out white, red and rose wine. 

A few wine barrels seemed vintage. The vintage barrels got a feel where as the iron breweries have a stern feel to it. 

Over the slim french fries under a sunny afternoon, we talked and talked. I like how the conversations were just flowing. Returned and headed to Al Beyrouth for a shawarma. After having a nice shawarma, we got back to home, greeting each other to finish the all the work before the deadlines. Good day.
