I took a client (I work with people with learning disabilites) to Denbies Vineyard today. We went on two tours. The first was an outside tour around the vineyard in a landrover pulling mini train like carriages. The area is part of the south down and quite hilly. We went up some hill or other and you could see right across Surrey
The second tour was a video followed by a tour around the winery and some wine tasting. There was only me and my client on this tour. The tour guide even got extra wine out when my client said he liked red wine more than white.
I was very interested to learn how they get the yeast out of the sparkling wine. Apparently they turn the bottles upside down and let the yeast settle in the neck ( I could do this with my FastRack rack for my beer). Then they freeze the neck, open the bottle so the frozen plug of yeast shoots out the bottle. Then add some more wine to relace the little bit thats lost. Then recap. Dunno how I'd freeze just the neck of a beer bottle.
I lead a hard life *sigh*
