Travel Post: Day 2 – St. Emilion

The wine tasting was an experience this morning. Here we are standing on glass pebbles – in honor of the grapes as if to crunch them with our toes. This is the contemporary wine making system built adjacent to the classical one at the St Emilion vineyard (in honor of the hermit/saint).

Building is understated, contemporary and reflects the terroir in red stainless steel!! Wine was “complex” at 11:00 a.m. All went well. Marion is our driver/guide and she is bursting with info! Off to the caves tomorrow. Very exciting to be so near now.
