Visit to Bouza Winery and Montevideo

I head out from my hotel and notice this fish stand on the beach

On the way to Bouza Winery, we are forced into a detour and when we get back on the highway I see a dead person on the road covered with a blanket. When I get to Bouza a very pregnant lady gives me a
tour. Death and new life in less than 15 minutes. Here are the tannat vines and the national bird of Uruguay protecting them.

The winery is spotless and immaculately
maintained. Here is a view of tannat
vines.
Tannat is the signature grape
variety of Uruguay.
Probably brought over by the
Basque from Madiran in the
South West France.

Uruguay is a catholic
country. This plaque on the
front of the winery is to thank San Isidro for
bringing rain after a long
draught.

Someone has money to play with, because all the gear is state of the art and perfectly maintained

A room full of French
Barriques and not a cobweb in site

The owner is quite a collector. Here is a picture of a railroad car he hopes to convert into hotel rooms and a view of the winery

The owner has a collection of antique vehicles, including a few model Ts and this very
unique 3 wheel car made by Messerschmitt. After WWII they could no longer make
fighter planes, so this is what they came up with.

Here is the dining room. All the tables were reserved but I ate alone. I guess Uruguayans
don’t eat lunch until around 1:30 pm.

Their parilla
![Page 13: Uruguay](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102901/55490407b4c905103a8b47f2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The first course. Shrimp with leek confit, cherry tomatoes and shellfish butter sauce.

Best steak I had in Uruguay. Served with a red wine sauce and pesto. They seem to love to garnish with
arugula.

A gorgeous flan served
with dulce de leche

They brought some of the vehicles out for some air

This very buxom lady
came into the restaurant and then left. As I was leaving I noticed she was with a video crew
shooting a TV segment
![Page 18: Uruguay](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102901/55490407b4c905103a8b47f2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
This was one of her
takes.
Gratuitous use of
silicon to sell this
presentation.

I took a cab to the Mercado del
puerto. The haze is from all
the parillas.

Here is a parilla in action

A market stall in the
old city

I stumbled across this really crazy restaurant
not far from my
hotel
![Page 23: Uruguay](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102901/55490407b4c905103a8b47f2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
La Rambla

One last shot of La Rambla as the sun sets
on Montevideo
