| Christophe Vaudoisey Winery, Volnay |
Yesterday, Ned
had invited us back to the winery to take a tour and so we did. He
showed us the vats where the just-picked grapes were being held. He
then explained the process from thence forward. After getting
permission, he escorted us into the wine cave’ where the barrels from
last year’s harvest are stored. Thanks to my husband and his openness
to people, we met Ned and had this wonderful experience. Something we
will not soon forget.
We were sad to leave
this area, but there are others to explore and experience. I forgot to
mention we had found a brand new McD’s by the autobahn outside of
Beaune. These become important since we have not had any breakfasts
included in our recent hotel stays. This also allows us to get on the
internet and do some route planning. After several cups of coffee
(they’re very small), we set the GPS to Bern, Switzerland, however, we
decide to stop in Avenches, Switzerland. We stop at a Rick Steves’
recommended B&B. Unfortunately, their only room is full. Jean
Pierre is kind enough to escort me to a vacation apartment hosted by
Virginie—La Petite Maison.

It’s the cutest apartment and very
comfortable. After dropping off our bags, we walk around the Roman
Ampitheater—one of several Roman ruins still remaining in this town.
I’ll continue this in the morning. I’ve had too much wine and am now tired enough to hit the rack. Goodnight!
