Obviously relieved, he laughed to himself and finished welcoming us to his vineyard. He told us that his name was Ludovic and introduced us to his wife, Marie. He explained that unlike most vineyards in the area, he and Marie do not limit their production solely to wine, but make their own bread as well, which is distributed throughout the area. As Ludovic was explaining how he runs the wine production and Marie the bread, a student raised her hand and asked how the couple had met each other. Each of them smiled shyly to themselves, looked up at the other and proceeded to jointly tell a story that they had obviously told hundreds of times before but which was recounted with so much sincerity that I could have sworn that they were telling it for the very first time. The two met at a university where they each studied a different facet of agriculture. After taking enough classes together, Ludovic finally asked Marie out on a date, where they discovered that they were from a similar region in France and each came from an agricultural background. They dated throughout their time at the university and got married shortly after graduating, but it was not until a few years later until they received a phone call, showing them their calling in life. Marie’s grandmother told them that a vineyard just up the road had been put up for sale and that the couple should think about making
