Bordeaux, France (Part 1)

Christo and I are officially in WINE country! When I tell you that there are grape vines everywhere I mean EVERYWHERE. We drove past a McDonalds yesterday that had their own "vineyard" in the parking lot!

We have had an amazing few days of touring vineyards and tasting exceptionally good wines! Christo arranged four tours, all beautifully well kept chateaus and vineyards! If we had to pick our favorite it would definitely be a hard task!

Obviously we LOVE wine but seeing the whole process behind the scenes before it is bottled has been so interesting and makes us appreciate buying that bottle even more now!

Out of the four wineries we toured, two of them only produce red wine, one of them produces red and white and the last one produces red, white and rose. One thing is certain, these "Frenchies" know their stuff!
