Les vendanges 🍇

The art of harvesting grapes -

Salut à tou.te.s,

September is that time of the year when wine makers gather the grapes to turn it into wine. Each year's new millésime heavily relies on the Summer weather. Hot and dry is excellent, too hot and too dry makes it more challenging. To know more about the process and how important it is in French culture, watch this week's episode.
