Our university put together a bus trip to the nearby valleys in Lyon, to sample some of the new wines of the year. These grapes have become ripe enough to bottle and its a celebration all over the country, even restaurants in Paris have put up signs that the Nouveau Beaujolais has arrived!. In France, wine doesn't work like it does at home. So wine is classified by region rather than as Chardonnay, Merlot, etc. This is the Beaujolais region which I visited! We didn't get to see the wine caves, but we did see the vineyards and sample some of the new wines (they taste a bit vinegary! lol)
