Thai wine


They make wine in Thailand.  It's a difficult thing to find wine in Thailand - heat and light are the enemies of wine, and it's hard to keep anything away from those two conditions around these parts.  

This wine (given to us by Ben and Megan) tasted excellent.  From what we understand, there are parts of the country that have high, cool valleys, good for growing wine, strawberries - pretty much any cool/temperate weather crop.  Who would have guessed it - fresh wine and strawberries in Thailand?

Visit Khao Yai, the mountains only 2 hours drive from Bangkok. PB Valley winery has excellent Syrah and a nice Chenin Blanc.
