5 days! I'm wine-ing

Crazy week! Yesterday was non stop! it didn't mean that I didn't notice the fact that I could count down on one hand for our trip! Yay! It still feels unreal, I'm sure it will set in Tuesday morning while my mom makes pumpkin pancakes and I'm running around trying to finish cleaning before we leave. Since it is such a crazy day, it will be totally dedicated to wine. French wine. Italian wine. Spanish wine, oh and I guess English wine? Based on the places we are going, here are some great wine spots.

While in Paris try:

Bistrot du Sommelier - 97 Bd. Haussmann (closed on weekends)

Les Papilles -  30 Rue Gay-Lussac

Le Cremerie -  9 Rue des Quatre-Vents

When I stayed in France the first time, we go to stay in this old Chateau that Contiki bought and turned into a hotel. It was beautiful and had an amazing pool and an underground "cave" of a bar.

Wine and Italy feel like they go hand in hand. Salt and pepper. Peanut butter and jelly. It should be a crime to have pasta in Rome without a glass. I'm hoping to do a little wine tasting while there, but we might be so tired that we'll probably end up grabbing a bottle and drinking it in a piazza. Sounds good to me, here are great places to go in Italy:

Pitti Gola e Cantina - Florence - Piazza Pitti, 16
Roscioli - Rome - via dei Giubbonari, 21

Palatium – Rome - Via Frattina 94

After writing this I'm only left with wanting a glass, and it's only 9:20am.
