Creator's Key Takeaways

the Chilean wine did not disappoint it all in fact I was pretty surprised by a few of the flavors that I tasted in there very very good

it was gorgeous driving yeah it was I didn't really know what to expect other than we were going to a winery right that was you know the promise on that was kept

the show must go on we've done theater in the past and that's how it is and um it was excellent so good really enjoyed all the song choices

we missed that but they compensated us a little bit they gave us drinks for an hour at any of the bar uh between 1 and 2 yesterday so it was really nice
