Winery Tour & Family Day

The day after Erica's 80th bday party we had a tour of a local winery. Here we are getting ready to see the introductory film.
This is our tour guide showing us some of the storage and processes.

And at the end of the tour is the tasting!
Ed's nieces, Sophie and Laura (Sylvia's daughters) were able to make it to the weekend for Erica's birthday party and Family Day. Family day used to be an annual (now every two years) reunion of Ed's mothers siblings and kids and now their kids. It's always held on the family farm in France. This is the first one I have been able to be at.
With that many people there is plenty for a football (Soccer) game.
Ed's mother came from a family of 16! There were nearly 200 people at the event.
