More of the wine cellars at the Chateau. I wanted to take one of those BIG barrels with me, but I didn't think the cruise line or the airlines would like me too much if I did...

Another section of the wine cellars at Chateau Sainte Roseline.

The bottling line at Chateau Sainte Roseline.  Along with the fermentation vats, it was a stark contrast to the relative antiquity of the chateau and its surroundings.

Her name escapes me, but our chateau tour guide preparing the goods for our wine tasting.

The wine shop/boutique at Chateau Sainte Roseline.  As you can see, Rod decided he liked it!

Charles, Odette and Brenda on the left, while Mac and Jerry investigate the wine selection in the wine shop/boutique.

Interesting pool sculpture.  Just had to take a shot of it...

Another view of the beautiful vineyards at Chateau Sainte Roseline.

Beautiful!

A widescreen shot of the vineyards.

Olive trees to the left (with more vineyards), and vineyards to the right.  Sweet!

A final shot of the vineyards at Chateau Sainte Roseline.

The crew ready for lunch at La Bastide de Saint Tropez.  Judy, Odette, Barry, Kathy, Rebecca, Megan, Brenda, Charles, Peggy, Reba and Rod (behind Reba).

I wish I had this bar at my house!  I love the design and feel of it!

A portion of the dining room.  I think Reba, Megan and a chunk of the crew actually ended up sitting at that table during the meal (and what a meal it was!).

A shot from the patio area into the dining area where me and my group stuffed ourselves over the course of the 2.5 hour lunch.

Another shot of the cozy patio at La Bastide de Sainte Tropez.

The pool area of La Bastide de Saint Tropez.  Looks like a great place to kick back and relax!
