Destination: Chateauneuf-Du-Pape.

We first had to hit a typical French market in a village just outside of Avignon. Heaven to this antique loving, flea market loving girl. I could’ve spent a fortune if I just knew how to bring it all home!

Next it was on the road to the holy grail. Chateauneuf-Du-pape. On the fly we found a b&b an hour before our arrival. We had only booked our first two nights and last two nights in this trip. We scored this time! Right in the center of town is a lovely woman’s home, Bridgette. She has a studio attached to her home and it is so perfect and so beautiful. We checked in and immediately went to taste wine and explore this village with 2000 residents and 300 wineries.

           I will admit that I am now a true wine snob. This stuff is AMAZING! We did a few tastings and bought a few bottles. We ended up eating pizza in our beautiful home for two nights, and drinking a bottle of heaven.
