However, this tour was a real delight. From the prompt responsiveness of Edward, to the timely pick up near my hotel, the entire trip was one entire seamless experience. Edward met me downtown at the tourist office, we went to pick up another couple, and from there we were off to Pic Saint Loup! Our first stop was the Zumbaum Tomasi winery. From the moment that we got to the car, you could tell that Edward was passionate about wines. He explained to us how the different wines were made, and introduced us to the wineries managers. We tasted a rose and two reds. After that we drove off to the second winery, which was called the Mas Gourdou winery where we tasted a white wine, a rose wine, red wine, and a dessert wine. We got to meet the owner of the Vineyard. The beautiful thing about both of these Vineyards is that they're both organic and estate wines. The grapes are grown, harvested, and bottled at each one of the estates. these bottles of wine pretty special and not your every day supermarket wine. We capped off the evening with a wonderful dinner cooked by Edward's mom. Our first course was a delicious and expertly done phyllo dough stuffed with a local goat cheese and an olive topping odd. Our main course was then a pork tagine followed by Apple pie and a chocolate cake. Oh! Did I mention the bottle of wine that came with the meal? The meal far exceeded our expectations!! We were so stuffed at the end. Edward drop us off at the end of the evening. If I were to ever come back to France I would definitely do the tour again.

So as a treat my gorgeous friends took me out to the Château l'Hospitalet for a little wine tasting. Yea me! Fergul; the Irish general manager with the French name (irony) was a delight and took me though the grapes, years, soil, region, seasons and of course bottles of plonk. I was completely rubbish and refused to spit out a drop claiming it was just wrong to waste such good wine. My poor form was completely acceptable and it seemed the team were used to such antic anyway. I was free to wander around the vineyard and the cellar and the whole experience is totally free of charge but of course it's curious to buy so wine, (which you'd be a fool not to) but there is no obligation. On the site there is also a charming hotel, restaurant and bar that offer jazz evening which in 2004 gave birth to an annual Jazz festival. I can not wait to return to sample the food and wine combo in the restaurant that has awarded la Château a place in Le Guide Michelin alone with with a number of other acclamations. The only down side for me is that I only came over with hand luggage so I couldn't buy any wine to bring home. Never mind, that'll learn me! So note to you reader check a bag!!

Luckily for me, I came in at the point where there was just a little bit more than a glass left. Score Chateauneuf du Pape is already a small region as it is; Beaucastel is a small player with their white wine lot being under 10 hectares of planting. Rousanne is the major player in the mix with Granache Blanc, Picardan, Clariette, Bourboulenc, all region specific grapes to finish. A very golden color, floral, honey, stonee fruit and a bit salty from the minerality. Certainly one of the more unique and intriguing wines I've tasted
