Since Walt really likes Champagne, I tried to like it too but drinking it made my head hurt. Then I discovered "pure Chardonnay" Champagne, called Blanc de Blancs. And after that, Vouvray bubbly, made exclusively with Chenin Blanc. No headaches. And yes, I think the headaches you get from changing over from white to red wine and/or vice-versa are the same phenomenon.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-80220553383758149312009-07-18T10:13:59.035+02:002009-07-18T10:13:59.035+02:00I'm with Ginny - I never understood why Champa...I'm with Ginny - I never understood why Champagne gave me headaches. Since I get headaches at dinners where they serve white with one dish and red with another and then another with the cheese, it seems logical that if they are mixing grapes to begin with, that might be the source of the problem.Ellen Lebellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929639076042070115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-70838710894053108202009-07-16T22:01:19.487+02:002009-07-16T22:01:19.487+02:00Thanks for the lesson.

And my first séjour was in Aix-en-Provence. Even then, though, Paris was the center of my attention.<br /><br />My love affair with the Loire Valley started in Vouvray, that's for sure.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-72834985032942272982009-07-16T12:43:20.377+02:002009-07-16T12:43:20.377+02:00I think going to Vouvray often starts one's lo...I think going to Vouvray often starts one's love affair with France.<br />A beautiful cave, can't wait to visit!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
