Yes, lol. Don’t want to distract from your great thread, just a comment.

Would have ordered that coche two weeks ago but we went to Huguette instead closer to our hotel (and so my kids could get pasta with clams). They had a nice Leroy aligote though!

Thanks so much Andy - very informative, great pics, great wines, and great info about the region and restaurants. And to think, that Lamy was from before they become “great” in theory!

Wow, what a marvellous trip, notes and photos! You certainly were busy! Excellent post, a great way to start the day -thanks for taking the time to do it - I know it’s a lot easier with the new system but it still takes a huge amount of time - so well done you, it was worth the effort!

Chateau Chenonceau

Circling back to this, one of the greatest pieces of architecture in the world. A design with soul. Such a moving experience. I recall seeing this Chateau as a teen (I think that age is about right) at an Epcot theatre, where you flew over and around this Chateau. It struck me then. And strikes me now. Just a spectacular place.

Love the pics!! Brings back great memories. My wife and I spent part of our honeymoon here, and stayed at Relais y Chateaux to get into that royal spirit!

A trip to repeat.

Interesting comment. How did you learn about these places?? I’m guessing from some of us who have mentioned restaurants like La Cagouille for many years?

I know this is an old post but the photos and details are awesome. I mainly wanted to reply to see if anyone has a good resource for exploring Loire wines. It is a region I have studied the least but every time I have the wines (esp the reds) I tell myself I’m going to dig into it. My local shop is great but not deep in Loire. So I will have to order some bottles. Hoping to get some advice on producers to be sure and check out. Thanks much!

This might help.
