St. Emilion

We left little England to head for the coast around Rocheforte and called en route at the world famous wine town of St. Emilion. Its actually a very interesting old town although it is 99% dedicated to selling the wines from the numerous chataeau, some of which eg Petrus are at astronomical prices. The many restaurants serve nice meals with the famous wines by the glass. Well you only go to St. Emilion once so we treated ourselves to lunch and I had a small glass of a good premier cru wine to go with it.

Rosemary is still going on about her goats cheese, duck and walnut tartine which was rather good!
We bought a couple of vines to bring home and try growing our own grapes togther with a bottle of the 2006 vintage from the same chateau for xmas (just in case!).
