It is fun to see the grapes growing, how they make the champagne and, of course, the fine dining zat goes wiz eet! The closest to a spectacular French-style winery we have here in Victoria, Australia, amongst all the many vineyards, belongs to Moet et Chandon in the Yarra Valley. They have a lovely tasting area and eatery that overlooks their superb vines and the hills in the distance. Quelle superbe!
