Grape Expectations – A Family`s Vineyard Adventure In France

`Delicious`. I licked my lips. The wine filled me with joy. A picture of a vineyard drenched in sunlight formed in my mind. Sean drew me rudely back to the lounge of our semi-d. `How can they be in liquidation if they make wine this good?` When Caro and Sean find the perfect ten-hectare vineyard in Saussignac, it seems their dreams of becoming wine-makers in the south of France are about to come true. But they arrive in France with their young family (a toddler and a newborn) to be faced with a dilapidated eighteenth-century farmhouse and an enterprise that may never, ever make them a living. Undeterred by mouse infestations, a leaking roof, treacherous hordes of insects, visits from the local farm `police` and a nasty accident with an agricultural trimmer, Caro and Sean set about transforming their `beyond eccentric` winery into a successful business as they embark on the biggest adventure of their lives – learning to make wine from the roots up.
