learnteachno whining allowed. much wining. poor poor pitiful me as uncle zevon sez. toured burgonge (burgondy) today, tasted four very nice wines, bought some gonna haul bottles around for a while, good for arm strength
sleeping buckets but need to drink more water to offset wine. pppm. in a cisctercian church from the xii century on the top of a hill (looking down on vinyards undergoing harvest and white charolas cows) a harpist was playing. plaques in the floor from the 13 century. castle is undergoing renovation. wow.) (also in two other towns with cistercian churches. next time i bring other singers with me.) (drunk a glass of cremant de burgogne (brut champagne, but the name champagne can only be applied to a region) no headache great aroma 7 euro a bottle easily 50 at a us store (boutght two) in the winery with the vintner and his wife, the concrete tanks warm with first fermentation and co2 spilling over the top (a real danger that kills if you are stupid) and the bottles unlabelled and a brioche (twinkie sans filling but freshbaked) to taste with it) (and the cool equipment that he uses to make his living, the destemmer and the grape pump and the cap punch down fork and the hydralique press...)
ANYWAY good day again. tomorrow cooking school and a tasting; then on to paris where i will go be the gros bocsh of the notre dame and buy Terry's latest at Shakespear and co and see the Nuit Blanc (stores open all night) and other such thangs
