Wine Cellar and Mozart's Requiem



On Tuesday at 11:30am I a bunch of us got a tour of the wine cellar in Lincoln College. I was surprised to see, not only how big it is, but how many professors invest in wines and how quickly a good wine can appreciate.

The wine cellar includes French wines from 1945 to recent American and Australian wines. In the middle of the room, there is an old well that, although not functional, actually helps regulate the
temperature. After the tour we got some samples… I was tipsy at 12pm!

In the evening, and after a lot of reading, seven of us went to watch Mozart’s Requiem at the Sheldoniam Theatre. It was an amazing performance by 10 singers and a band of 22.
