Steamed haricots verts with butter, potato salad (dressing of mustard, olive oil, white wine, salt, pepper, capers) and cucumber/tomato salad dressed in sherry vinegar, s/p, basil. Clean plates!

Driving Back from Bourgueil/Chinon

Was driving alone and so wanted to share it with friends. Listening to Patti Griffin, windows down, and such a big sky. Kinda reminds me of back home in Illinois.

Chinon, I Love You

Made a trip to Bourgueil and Saumur, and passed through Chinon again. Still love it the best. Here's some grapes from Baudry-Dutour, where had promised to go back to. EXCELLENT stuff.
