Wine

The result of a holiday in Bourgogne, some years ago, where I visited many wine farms and came home with over 60 bottles.
From Beaune to Fuissé, to Chablis.

A little sideway to Bourg-en-Bresse to eat the famous Bresse chicken and go to the Wednesday market.
And a two day visit to Tournus with its lovely St. Philibert church and then via Vézélay to Auxerre and the Chablis region.
Great fun!

Since 2002 I visit this region once or twice a year. In 2005 twice already!
