John and Cathie’s Personal Adventure on the Wine Route – Part Deux – Clos Sainte Magdeleine

The best thing about Part Deux of our wine route adventure is that the Clos Ste Magdeleine was .4 miles from our AirBnb, a ten minute leisurely walk, albeit uphill. We set out for the winery shortly after it opened to avoid walking up hill in the heat, but really it was just a gentle…
