Beaune, France
Beaune is just south of Dijon and the capital of the Burgundy Wine Region! It poured here today, so Whitney and I ran from shop to shop in order to stay dry. This city is truly a city for wine lovers - wine cellars and caves to visit, tasting rooms and tours, wine for sale by the box and crate available for shipping anywhere in the world, wine accessory and kitchen stores, and cafes and good food as well!
This region produces only two kinds of wine, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. We learned about taste and flavor, the growing and aging process, and I learned that I like white wine after all!
