A bit of tasting in the Wine Celler – Beunne, France

A bit of tasting in the Wine Celler – Beunne, France, originally uploaded by Photomike07 / MDSimages.com.

I must admit, I’m one of those types that absolutely loves a great glass of wine, but has no real interest in the research that one might take to really understand the art of the product. I just don’t have the time. So although I have no idea what I am tasting, that surely should not stop me from exploring the great cellars in France, right? This place in a town called Beunne was really sweet. Barrels placed throughout the various rooms in this dark and cavernous cellar had bottles placed atop with candles to add a bit of ambience. Very cool indeed! The result? As there were not too many tourists there at the time, I received a fantastic lesson and kind of a private sampling of a few “special” wines. And yes, all this before lunch LOL!
