Not much to say here, but what a cool old city. We tasted some amazing wines and picked some to bring back. We wandered around town and drank more wine. Then it was up to the old tower to check out the view and drink my heineken on the street! Day seized. <br>

... we visited two wineries. We were given tours and information on their wines and winemaking, and tasted some of their wines. We also got to visit Chateau Margaux - ok, the bus stopped out the front just for a look, but it was great to get a glimps.
