This wine trade fair, with 55 000 attendees, is huge. It&#8217;s daunting in scale, so you have to have quite a good plan about what you are going to do next, or else you can end up walking aimlessly through the cavernous halls, and gradually lose the will to live. I had three seminars: two for New Zealand and one for Canada. The rest of the time I did some tasting of interesting things. Today, day 2, will be busier &#8211; four seminars to do &#8211; and so for now I&#8217;ll just post some pictures of the highlights of day 1.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17367\"
