It sure seems like a good reason to me.<br /><br />Red is the color that attracted me in your photos today: the red top on the Fiat 500 as well as the red-painted wheels on the cute flat-bed truck.<br /><br />Mary in OregonMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04911284607089608538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-11771872578063616792012-04-15T15:50:28.890+02:002012-04-15T15:50:28.890+02:00back in 2006 Schnitzel and I spend a week in the L...back in 2006 Schnitzel and I spend a week in the Loire at a lovely gite and castle - lavauguyon.free.fr - the owner took us to his fav white wine producer and while there we met the restuarant owner that you dined at in Sasilly - we had a nice lunch there also.<br />We then went to chateau de la grille for his fav red producer. I think this is now owned or leased by Baudy in this post. I remember the chateau and layout. We bought 2 ageable reds for 30E and almost had to sign and oath that we would not drink these wines before 2013 and 14 I believe - so in the cellar for a year or so to see how good they are.<br /><br />love your travels - Dale TROUT SevigAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-16508843278800055862012-04-15T15:47:35.379+02:002012-04-15T15:47:35.379+02:00Ken, you DO know "the basics", that'...Ken, you DO know "the basics", that's for sure. Your wine posts are always so helpful and informative and really help break everything down. When one doesn't know anything about wine, a label is just a bunch of words that are on wine labels :))... reading your wine posts really helps break down the whole mystery :)Seine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-33846166784924339732012-04-15T10:11:42.027+02:002012-04-15T10:11:42.027+02:00As I read your post, sitting on my desk here in Me...As I read your post, sitting on my desk here in Melbourne is an empty bottle of Bernard Baudry from Chinon.

I don't know if you have to buy 12 bottles of the same wine, or whether you can mix and match. I'm sure you can buy individual bottles in any quantity you want.<br /><br />H.
