Maybe I should take a trip next time it's on. I've been to the vineyard that produces that wine as it was near where I used to live. I read an article on English wines the other day, but then they have an odd microclimate in Cornwall that allows for grape growing. It looks really good Pat!

Honestly, I haven't tasted Dutch wine before. This stand wasn't offering samples either, that I noticed. I've heard it's okay, but not very interesting. I suspect they need to use a lot of pesticides and other chemicals to get wine grapes to grow here, and the wine is not labelled organic. Right now the climate in Holland is too cold and wet for good wine, but they think in a few decades if global warming sets in, Holland could be the new major wine region... It's already happening in France that vineyards are creeping north as the climate warms. The vineyard that makes this wine isn't far from Amsterdam. Hi Amelia,

What is Dutch wine like? It's funny, I just posted some photos from my local market this morning. Looking at your photos of this market, and your other market, it's neat how the feeling is the same even an ocean away. I feel like I'd be at home in any farmers' market anywhere in the world!
