Orange Wine Country

 Tummy full and now totally in love with Canneles 😍

So it has to be time to do what we came to southern France to do!

Another wine tasting is needed … out of pure respect to all these amazing grape vines that are lining the road sides and giving the cute little houses and church steeples great foreground. 

The ground is just so rocky and that is apparently what the grapevines love here.

Vines as far as the eye can see.

We are just under the mountains near Orange where our tasting is going to happen. We are trying some wines from very small wineries that have pooled resources and have one wine outlet.

Meet Matt … Character personified!! Looks like he has been tasting to many wines today already!!

 

But if you saw Sandy's FB post he is the man that gave me a French lesson as to how … and how NOT say 

thank you very much!!

100’s of wine to taste and today we gave it a far nudge!

(but no sleeping in the car park was require today) 

Was a success day as we didn't find a wine that we didn't enjoy … and for our wine friends playing along at home 2020 was a great year in Southern France around the Orange area. 

Loving discovering the taste and all the differences of the rosé that we are having here in Southern France.

Check out the colour … Matt said the one on the right is left on the skins for 20mins for a wine to drink while cooking the BBQ the one in the middle on skins for 187mins great for sipping by the pool and the one on the left is a food wine and on skins for a week. Looks like I need to get a pool!!!!
