St. Emillion

We were headed for the Medoc and got sidetracked for a while in St. Emillion, another top Bordeaux appellation. Each farm is fairly small, so the whole area is just dotted with little chateaux. We had such fun driving along the country lanes amongst all the vineyards on the scooter. The town itself is a beautiful medieval village filled with wine shops and restaurants. We even did an introductory wine tasting course and now we feel we do know something about Bordeaux wines.
