And we're off....
I know readers are dying to know the details of my personal life since we arrived in Poil Rouge.
- We arrived last Tuesday in the rain and had nothing to eat at home.
- We ate Pizza at La Dolce Vita in Mâcon. We ordered a carafe of delicious plain Beaujolais from Marcel Lapierre. It had no color, no intensity and was lovely. This may be the only pizzeria in the world which carries Poulsard from Pierre Overnoy, Fleurie from Yvon Metra, Dard & Ribo and Henri Roch in Vosne-Romanée. Mâcon rocks!
- The weather has been unbearably hot since Wednesday
- I mowed the lawn
- Denyse took care of our bushes, flowers, trees and plants
- Buster ate lots of grass
- We are at one with nature
- Jean-Paul Brun is releasing his Beaujolais as Table Wine
- We ate a lot of saucisson
- We drank a 1992 Clos Vougeot from Amiot-Servelle with no color, no intensity and which was just lovely
- We drank a 1999 Côte du Py from Louis-Claude Desvignes which was way too young
- We drank a 1996 Mas des Chimères which was dark, intense and just lovely
- We drank a 2000 L'Ebrescades from Marcel Richaud which needed time to open and should have been decanted but bordered on the profound
- We bought a flamethrower to destroy weeds in our courtyard, allowing us to avoid using Round-up. I'm looking for a homeopathic treatment so I can declare our courtyard in biodynamie
- Windows Vista sucks and keeps crashing
- I finished Neal Rosenthal's book
- Received a phone call from Interpol about possible criminal activities in Poil Rouge
The summer coincided with our arrival.
I have to pack and leave or we will be late seeing Pierre and Monique Luneau. It is a long drive to the Muscadet from Poil Rouge, nearly seven hours. I've primed the GPS and filled the tank and am looking forward to fighting sleep as I drive toward Nantes.
See you soon.
