We went to the Beichen District today where we toured the Dynasty Winery. Dynasty was established in 1980 and produces 1.4 billion bottles of wine a year. There was a model of the entire Winery and I could not believe how big it was. There is even a hotel right next to the winery. When we toured the dynasty, we got to see the bottles from the start to finish - where they fill the bottles up, put the labels on the bottle, and the corks. I was amazed at how clean everywhere was that we toured. We had taste testing for the champagne and red wine. I am not a big fan of red wine but I did like this kind and the champagne a lot. The taste testing took place in the Oak Barrel Brewage Plant that was 9 meters underground and had more than 4500 oak barrels. I had never been to a winery before and I was really amazed at how big this place was. We only went in two different buildings and there were probably 10-15 buildings. I also talked to Lisa some more and she told me she had never tried wine or champagne but was interested in trying some champagne. Maybe some day at lunch we will have some champagne.
