wow sounds awesome! I spent 10 days driving through the Luberon region of France, staying at Inns alongside the vineyards and drinking incredible wine every day! I also spent a LOOOONG weekend at a winery in Bordeaux that was amazing!
Woinder if you visited in France the Chateau Lafitte Rotschild vineyards, well worth the visit. Also in the Alsace region, they produce the pinot noir and the best years for the pinot noir are the following
