In the summer of 2007 we went backpacking through Europe for 6 weeks. It was an awesome experience to have as a couple! In our travels we went to Bordeaux, France. What a lovely city and place to spend a couple of days. In thinking about my journey with wine, I would say this is where it really all began for me. At this point David had finished just over a year of first year science classes with the intention of applying to get into the program in September 2008 (which he did). So it's time to embrace the idea of wine and try it for myself. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like it, it's just that I don't love it. I enjoy cooking with it and having a glass on occasion.
Here we are in Bordeaux with our super cheap bottles of wine
While in Bordeaux, we took a bus ride to visit the town of St. Emillion. This was a super cute little town famous for its wine and macaroons. Odd combo, I know. Anyways, not that David is working on his degree I have read about the town in several of his books, I never realized how significant it is as a part of the Bordeaux wine region.
One of my first experiences doing a wine tasting.
There were huge underground wine cellars, very cool!
