Today I went on a short day trip to some prime Bordeaux wine country.
We got up super early, like 6am, only to get on the wrong train, and didn't get to Saint Emilion under after lunch! (Damn France and their timetables)
Once we got there though, we found a cool looking winery with an amazing cellar. We also got to do a wine tasting, and ended up choosing a 2008 mostly Merlot blend. Only 13euro for a bottle seemed like a complete steal, so we got 2.
The town is really cute, and the whole area is surrounded by vineyards! The changing colours of the leaves and the grapes still on some of the vines almost made the bucketing down rain seem a bit less shitty.
When we got back, we went for a quick picnic down by the river, and now I am waiting for another night bus.
Tomorrow, Paris xx
