Tracking down wine

Bob Shanley and his wife Suzanne were in Malta recently. From the Travel Blog:

Arrived in the Port of Valletta early on Friday, May 16th and it was great seeing a European town again! We did a Highlights Tour in the morning which took us first to the fishing village of Marsaxlokk. It was a nice photo opt and probably won't be available in the near future because fishing in the Med has really gotten bad. Most fishermen only do it part time and need another job for support. The next two stops were a porcelain factory and a glass bowing works and both were interesting. The best stop was the Meridiana Wine Estate where we got to taste some very good wines and replenish our South African supply which had just ran out.

After the tour, we asked to be dropped in the town of Valletta and got one of the crew to take our wine back to the ship for us. Had a great lunch and a wonderful tour of St. John's Co-Cathedral. It is one of the most beautiful churches I have ever been inside of and has a great collection of art work from the period when the Knights of Malta were at their pinnacle. We walked back down the hill to our ship with a fond memory of one of the neatest towns in Europe. It took us two days to track down our wine which we had given to the crew member. We felt as though we were playing a game of scavenger hunt. Finally our tablemates at dinner found our wine for us!
