Bottled poetry

"Drink wine. This is life eternal. This is all that youth will give you. It is the season for wine, roses and drunken friends. Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life." — Omar Khayyám

Couldn't have summed it up better. I would choose the hottest day to visit St. Emilion and then rent a bicycle to visit its vineyards though. And then arrive, sweaty and aching for a drink, to be told the winery is closed for their (3 hour) lunch break. Wow, frenchies and their work ethic. Either way, Saint-Émilion was a treat. And don't judge me for drinking white wine in this region. Hot and bothered doesn't fair well with red.
