Oh Yeah, New Year's in Stgo

Well, it was AWESOME because my boyfriend Mark arrived New Year's eve at 8pm, just in time to do some catching up after six months in waitig and then going out on the streets to see the fireworks at La Moneda. We didn't party too hard, just champagne on the streets and loud cheering with the locals.

"reunited and it feels so good..."

Eating his favorite Chilean dish, Chacarero, which is roast beef, green beans, tomatoes and spicy ají sauce.




We went to one of the Chile's biggest and most important wineries called Concho y Toro. You've probably have had one of their wines.

Back in the day, the man who owned Concha y Toro kept getting his best wines stolen from his cellar by his workers. Instead of scolding at them, he told them that there is a devil living in the cellar and if they steal any more wines, the devil will come at them. Since then, no has stolen wine from him again. Thus is the legend of Casillero del Diablo.



On to the best part... tasting wine!





Salud!
