| Vintage Bottles - check out the dust on top! They actually say that Champagne is not like wine - after so many years, you would just want to have it for a collection (not to drink) |
 |
| This particular Cave, had signs for all of the cities that they sold in.... |
 |
| This was the real vintage stuf... |
 |
| Our tour came with a Champagne tasting |
 |
| We asked the poor guy SOO MANY questions - it was almost comical :-) |
 |
| One of the Roman Gates to the city of Reims |
 |
| This is the typical French village (quite bland on the outside) |
 |
| Almost everyone in this village was a Champagne Producer. They are basically farmers who grow grapes, and then complete the process |
 |
| This was the house that we ended up in. The wife is the one who led our Champagne Tasting here. She married a man who was from a lineage of Champagne Producers |
 |
| Grape Vines |
 |
| And more Grape Vines (September is the month when they are ripe and ready to go) |
 |
| Our tasting in this little village... |
 |
| It was pretty cool because the bottle didn't even have a label on it. Another thing that was cool, is that we bought several bottles and were able to have the labels custom made (whatever we wanted to have written on them). We bought a few gifts! |
 |
| The garage with some of the Champagne.... |
