Wine Tasting

Tonight, along with our friends Anna, Heather and Pauli,
we attended a Wine Tasting at The Ground Culinary Centre
in Lyttelton. I don't know a lot about wine and have only
been to one wine tasting before, but it was a lot of fun,
trying eight different wines from Australia and New Zealand
as well as some really tasty finger food. I think I've decided
that I am more of a fan of white wines than red wines though.


Afterwards, we went to dinner at a quirky little bar down the
street that Heather and Pauli frequent called the Wunderbar.
The decor is anything from an odd chalk painting of a dragon on
the wall, to doll heads decorating the lights. Different...but fun!
