Once again he did not fail to impress our guests!
From Avignon we headed north to Cairanne for a tasting lesson, then to St. Cecile les Vines for a stroll through a street market and wine tasting. We had a super lunch back in Cairanne, then off to an amazing couple of hours sight seeing around Gigondas, and a tasting at our favorite winery Moulin del la Gardette. Following all that, a final tasting of sweet wines in Baume de Venice.
A grand total of 11 wines tasted, something like 24 bottles bought. Most were bottles that go for over $30 in the KC area, here were from 4euro to 11euro, hard no to stock up for the apartment.
Mind blowing wines, an incredible 15euro lunch(seriously, it was easily a $60 meal in the US), and scenery that made at least a couple people tear up. Not too shabby!
Back home and a quiet dinner in, no wine was had for some odd reason.
Btw, the skies here really do get that freaky deep blue colour like the first picture, its not a Photoshop trick. There is a reason great artists have always flocked to Provence for the light...
