Vaison la Romaine

Went to the countryside to escape the oppressive heat in the city.  Vaison la Romaine is up in the mountains, so definitely cooler than the 97-99 degrees in the city.

Of course, I live in the Cotes de Rhone valley, so countryside means lots of vineyards and wine tasting. Step outside of Avignon, or any village in the area, and you see acres and miles of vines, in every direction. Pretty little villages surrounded by vineyards. How bad could that be? Bonjour, Provence. Many local artisans  to fill the galleries with jewelry, paintings, pottery.

Here are memories of one tasting. They will pour anything and all free. The spigots on the wall are for locals to fill up their own containers. Check out the prices..that is per BOTTLE..we pay more per glass.
