Travel - Wine Tasting at Chateau Gruaud LaRose

For Hive account@kalemandra’s Monday Red Color Challenge, here are some shots of my favorite red beverage. These were taken in a beautiful wine cave at Chateau Gruaud LaRose near Paulliac, France.

The cave was down a very cool spiral staircase.

I visited quite a few chateaus on my trip, but this one was a wonderful combination of old and new architecture.

While the historic Chateau was very traditional looking, the tasting room was a very modern building built into the slope and it had a six story viewing tower on top of it.
