Vineyards in Burgundy, France

Cheers to a good harvest. They’re grrrape!
When you hear wine experts talk of ‘Burgundies,’ they are referring to wines made in this French region, called Bourgogne locally, and Burgundy in English. The most common varieties are Pinot noir and Chardonnay, but farmers here grow many different types of grapes. September and early October is grape harvest time in France, so the usually quiet rows of grape vines we see in this photo are probably very busy with workers gathering the fruit to be crushed and fermented. We’re thinking about putting together a bread and cheese plate right now…
