Following French class, we had an amazing wine tasting lecture. The professor was a zany old man who kept us laughing. He filled the glasses tall and sang French drinking songs as he walked throughout the room. We sampled seven wines from the region and discussed each wine as a group.
After lunch, we visited the Domaine des Rochelles, a fifth generation family winery. It was beautiful to see such a flourishing operation with merely ten employees, the majority of them family. We toured the vineyard, vat and storage room and, most importantly, the tasting room.
For dinner, our host family prepared escargot, veggies, steak, and aligot(pureed potatoes and cheese). Escargot immediately obtained a spot on the list of my favorite foods. They were buttery and rich in a parsley and garlic sauce. With help from a crusty baguette, none of the sauce went to waste.
