Lesson Learned: All wine festivals need to have cheese


When I travel to a new country I always like to have an itinerary. However, winging it lets you experience things you would have otherwise missed.

My latest adventure was to Australia. I spent 10 days visiting a college roommate who is working in Sydney for the next 9 months. I along with 2 other girls traveled more then 14 hours for the trip. So, when we arrived and stumbled upon a wine festival the first day we were eager to partake in festivities. The only problem was, I don't really drink a lot of wine.

We had about 100 booths to pick from and 5 tickets to spend (that meant 10 tastings each). 

After about 5 of them I was starving and went in search of cheese, I figured what wine festival would skimp on brie? Unfortunately this Aussie one did. We all agreed the choices we did have like mini pancakes, chinese, pizza, and salmon weren't exactly what we were looking for.

So, the next time you decide to host a wine festival make sure you've got some gorgonzola to go along with it.
