After the tasting we did a quick visit to Pouilly to take some photos in the vineyards.

You tasted 126 different wines in ONE afternoon !?!? Wow! Pouilly-Fumé is one of my favourites!
Did you try the 'maatjes*': that's the raw Dutch herring fillets shown in the photos. They are soooo good, tender and creamy. But then, a lot of people don't like raw fish, do they!
(*) The name 'maatje' and this way of serving them only applies to young herrings that haven't mated yet.
I suppose it was a little under three hours ...
