...AKA the greatest post to ever appear my blog.
Who doesn't love wine?
And I won't even ask about freebies.
Last week, Heather and I were invited to experience Vinopolis!
This is a wine/champagne/spirits tasting event -- SAY NO MORE, we were in.
And you'll see below - it's not just a place - it's an entire CITY OF WINE.
I saw the words on the building but all I could read was
'Welcome to Heaven, Caity. You've done good - here's a lot of wine'
It's an interesting and super fun concept.
Walking in is where you'll receive your entry coupon and wine-tasting card.
You can purchase 7, 12, or 16 tokens to put on your card
which will be used for however much wine you want to taste.
Meaning 16 tokens on your card, of course.
The afternoon began with a quick course where we were given our first glass of wine.
We learned the proper ways to look, smell, and taste our wine, rather than just chug it down
...which none of us do. Nope.
After we finished up here, we were set loose in the wonderland of wine.
There were all types of wine,
crisp, ripe, fruity, aromatic, even dessert!
A simple insert of your card and you're on to tasting whatever you'd like.
There was also a champagne bar, as well as a spirits lounge to taste liquors.
We stuck to wine and champagne.
Vinopolis has over 100 different wines to sample,
which means Heather and I will be back again.
...and again .. and probably one more time after that.
Can you blame me? WINE.

It's actually even better than just free stuff - it's CATH KIDSTON.
Social moguls such as baby Prince George have been recently photographed wearing this,
so you're only one of the cool kids if you're wearing it too.
