Concentrating mainly but not exclusively on the Loire's vineyards, its vignerons and their wines along with places to eat and stay. Also covers some recently published wine books – not just from Loire. Regional Chair for Loire @Decanter's World Wine Awards since its inception.

Already knew one can buy EPO on the market, but muscles ?
Lot(ches) of things are changing, nowadays.
Luc. Beware you won't be getting more stars in le Guide Haché if you spend all your time reading and commenting on my blog!
- “Mince alors !” (funny pun on mince = haché) .
Fact is, I’ve been cleaning the press thoroughly today (with chlorine – diluted !-, first time in my life), ‘cause white wine might be made next week or short thereafter. And I’ve been fixing stupid things in the winery as well ... boring jobs altogether. Therefore, I stop every two hours or so, and allow myself 30 minutes on the GOOD blogs. It is my only connection to “intellectual” life, as Corneilla is rather a kind of Bagdad Café in the middle of nowhere. Hervé Bizeul has got his own petite Sibérie to attend; my Gulag is public.
Moreover, the magazine “Cuisine et Vins de France” issued a portrait of modest (?) me just today, and I’m keen on reading it soon (Christine bought a copy in town). Finally, I feel a little bit “high” as every time serious stuff has been due soon in my existence, and the nearing harvest is a helluva one of them.
But don’t worry, as of beginning of Sept., I’ll make myself scarce, to everybody’s relief.
