wine barrels

Back to the wine cave for a tour of one of the local winemaker's production facilities.  Many of the producers offer tours and while the process is pretty much the same, they all have their own look and style.  There are also cooperatives that cater to bus loads of tourists, sometimes with wine making museums, extensive tasting rooms, and of course, gift shops.

  1. Did you have to climb the ladder to get out?!

  2. This photo made me think of the time I toured the Veuve Clicquot winery in Reims.
    I enjoyed looking at all your photos today. You are so luck to be living in such a beautiful as well as historic place.

  4. Will you soon be giving wine commentaries as well? (do you get samples?)

  5. If you take the ladder exit, you miss the tasting room, so there were no takers this day.

    Hi Sharon, I've been to Tattinger winery in Reims and the scale and sophistication of the wine making there is impressive. In the Loire valley, it's a bit more "down home".

    And thanks for the CDP welcome...it's great to be in the club. When do I learn the handshake?

  8. Thanks, Jim.

    And yes, Peter, it was a bit tricky as I took this photo without my tripod. I balanced the camera on top of another barrel and was lucky that it somewhat worked out.
