Although Eger is known for its red wines, we revisited this cellar a number of times because of its magnificent Chardonnay. Cellar number 19 if anyone else ever tries to find this wonderful nectar of the gods. The 2005 was possibly one of the best white wines I have ever drunk. It was a little pricier than the other wines, at a staggering $1 per glass, but our budget does stretch that far.

We spent our last day in Holland on the water in a sloop. This was one of the great wooden boats that graced the water. It was Sunday, and the weather was great, so many families were out, putting through the waterways and canals. It was beautiful, and a wonderful last day.
