Art And Wine
It was pointed out to me that old Moldovan wine presses are unusual in that they have rectangular instead of round receptacles. Not at all sure of the reason for the difference, but it's there. The rest of these pics are of the wine collection and the art interspersed with it in the cellar. Note the "stained glass" windows. They're actually wine bottles....

Getting Around Underground
We were a large enough group at Cricova, and had arrived in more than one vehicle, that we were able to ride in the underground trolley. Although it was covered, the trolley was open on the sides. The place was cold, especially with the wind! We got to see a lot of barrels. We also got to see some mosaics. The cellars are much more finished and polished than the ones at Milestii Mici.
