Hello All!
Welcome to our blog. Our intention is to post as many pictures as possible and to keep our peeps updated on our adventures while we are living and working in France. Wine speak and tasting notes will undoubtedly be present, as that is the reason we are here, our love of wine!
First, we want to share photos of Gigondas, where we will be living for the next couple months. Gigondas is a small town in Southern France, in the Southern Rhone wine region. Gigondas is a hillside village of about 600 people, and located in a prime wine growing area. We arrived a week ago, after five days in Paris and two days in Reims (photos to come), and have been busy getting to know the area. Rob has started his 'flying winemaker' job at Chateau St. Cosme, and Sarah starts in the vineyard tomorrow. Harvest has officially started, with the arrival of viognier grapes for the Cotes du Rhone blanc, with more grapes for the blend coming the rest of the week. Should be a busy harvest!
