The first week of the trip I stayed with friends in southern France, just outside of Montpelier. They were wine drinkers and had visited a number of wineries over the years so they had mostly mapped out a route for me to follow and gather wine.
And gather we did. In 5 days I purchased 210 bottles of wine. Most was destined for my lovely and me, but I had some friends here in the U.S. who were interested in some wine so I purchased a few bottles to give to them, as well.
Interestingly, I did not take a single photo of that portion of the trip. I mean, did you want to see my well-used credit card?
