Didn't buy any because we were "focussing" on the Burgundy and Australian Shiraz :-)The Beavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-65250427306685845812009-07-28T14:56:53.948+02:002009-07-28T14:56:53.948+02:00Back in '81, I knew very little about wine, ot...Back in '81, I knew very little about wine, other than a vague concept of "white wine with fish and chicken, red wine with beef". So, when Aimee, Jane and I were going to have a Thanksgiving dinner at Jane's -- she was roasting a big chicken in her "family's" oven-- I went to Inno and bought a bottle of white wine. I had no idea what the labels' wording meant in French. I came home with a white labeled "moelleux", and when M. Lacombe saw it, he just rolled his eyes and shook his head and told me that it simply wouldn't do for me to take that wine to my friend's dinner with roast chicken! He gave me a bottle of their St. Emilion dry red (explaining, among other things, that dry reds are great with anything that is roasted), and told me to save the white for dessert :)) Whew! Saved by Monsieur le (knowledgeable) Frenchy :)<br /><br />JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-15485161707702975742009-07-28T09:18:06.664+02:002009-07-28T09:18:06.664+02:00Those sky photos are amazing.Those sky photos are amazing.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.com
