It’s a reasonable start for champagne tasting at 9.30am and despite the lack of directions we finally find our tour group. Catherine is our guide and tells us all about Champagne. I have to say that after living with a marketer for the last 5 years I always thought that calling wine “Champagne” was just a way to make more money out of us but now I have an even greater appreciation for Champagne! Grant finally arrives and we visit a couple of Champagne houses with nice boozey lunch in between (and three glasses of champagne to match the dishes). After all this hard work it’s time for a power nap and dinner... unbeknownst to me (as I can’t read French let alone speak it!) I order veal liver for dinner. It is definitely a French dining experience!
The following day we all head out to roam the area surrounding Reims. It is very picturesque and we find a couple of quaint boutique champagne houses and a another restaurant for a long lunch! Sigh... it’s time to say good bye to Grant and Maria. We’ve had a great time with them but we have to continue down south. After Reims we drive to Troyes and spend the night there.
