Bacchus makes hay while the sun shines

How about this? A boutique festival set in beautiful woodlands, a sunny day, bands, DJs... and a massive choice of top quality wines served in a real wine glass. It almost sounds too good to be true - but this was what Amsterdam's first Bacchus Wijnfestival offered for three days between 5-7th September.

So bos

I headed along to the Amsterdamse Bos (or wood) on Saturday afternoon, with a bunch of wine loving friends. Entry was nice and relaxed - no bouncers mauling you about, no bottles of water being confiscated (yes, that can happen at festivals).
