Given our impending trip to France this evening I thought that rather than concentrate on the trip ahead (9 hours alone with a squirming toddler) I would look to what's ahead. Located in Le Puy-Sainte-Reparade, the Chateau La Coste Winery is one of a kind. It is, first and foremost, a beautiful piece of countryside, but so much more than that, it is a combination of some of the world's most famous architects' efforts coming together.

Among these works of art there are sculptures by Richard Serra, James Turrell and more of which I hope to bring back first hand images, but in case I get lugged down by the festivities and I don't we can at least wallow in these professional images. The full winery tour is available on
