Today's stage moves through two regions known for their produce and wine: Centre and Languedoc-Burgundy.Centre is the leading grain-producing region of France, crossed by the River Loire, and home to the fruity wines of Touraine.
Burgundy is synonymous with the finest and most prestigious wines: Chablis, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Beaune, Mercurey and Pouilly-Fuissé. The region also a grain-producing and cattle breeding area. Charolais, Morvan and Nivernais cattle produce some of the country’s most flavourful meats.
What to eat this evening? It's up in the air. B and N are off to Raleigh, where Big Medicine is playing at Quail Ridge Books.
Perhaps I'll make a trip this afternoon to Wine Authorities, where it's a sure deal that Craig or Seth can fix me up with a bottle or two of something regionally appropriate.
Who wants to join me in drinking some wine and (re)watching the day's stage?
