We visited Chateau L'Euzier in the Languedoc region. This winery has been managed by the same family for several generations. When the father passed away fairly young, his son and daughter returned to the family business and are now running the place.

The daughter had been working as a jeweler in Paris. When she came back to manage the winery, they re-named the wines to coincide with jewelry-making techniques. Her brother has also re-vitalized the business by bringing in new styles and winemaking skills. Needless to say, their wine is tasty!

Our tasting took place under the shade of some gorgeous old trees, accompanied by some yummy treats. The friendly family dog cruised around to get some scratchies from the animal lovers. It was a lovely way to spend a few hours!

By the time we were done with this, the second winery of the tour, our guide/teacher knew we were on track to buy even more wine than last year's trip. More on that in later posts.
