Report from Bordeaux

Just a quick report from Bordeaux…

We just returned to the farmhouse we’re staying in for the week (purple-teethed, all of us) after a day in St.-Emilion with the winemaker from Chateau Ausone and his brother, who owns an amazing wine shop in the town called Vignobles & Chateau. It was, to say the least, a breathtaking day, full of great wine, fantastic people who could not be more helpful, and a landscape as beautiful as any in the world.

And not only is the wine here as amazing as you’d hope, but the food is absolutely mind-boggling. For me, the Bordelais relationship with food can be summed up with this magnificent fact: We purchased a jar of foie gras in the lot we parked our car in this morning in St.-Emilion. That’s right: parking-lot foie. What a wonderful place.
