The Wine Regions

From Brittany to the Loire and some wine tasting at Chateau Pierre Bise - delicious white wines 6 of which are now on board (pictured above with vineyard owner). Then through Cognac and on towards Bordeaux where we drove through the medoc and haut medoc stopping for some more wine tasting at Chateau Loudenne on the banks of the Gironde (Jemima in front of the chateau gates). Continuing south we passed through the Cote de Gascogne - Armagnac country - and spent a lovely afternoon learning about fermentation, maceration and vinification - and still remembered it all after extensive tasting! Last photo is outside Chateau de Millet with the owner Francis Deche and his daughter. This is the life!!!
