one thing i ally love about the south of france is the wine. we’ve been driving about and have tasted managed to sample many and varied wines. i would have to say the difference between the cheap and the expensive is noticable, but the cheap is still very enjoyable.
on our travels we found a lovely cave (cellar selling to the public) that we purchased some lovely wine from. we’ve since found you can buy wine very cheaply from wineries by the litre! as little as 80 euro cents a litre. don’t get me wrong. it’s worth trying the 10 euro bottles, but table wine is cheap!
to complete my rant on wine, we went to an amazing celler that has rebuilt a traditional roman wine press, and twice a year they make wine the traditional way – yes the grapes are also crushed by the feet of toga clad people. we did buy wine from this place, now we just have to find the right roman dishes to accompany it!
as i’m still doing pda updates, photos will have to wait until we return… more to come!
