I was so excited to visit Chateau du Petit Thouars! Prior to visiting the Loire, I had been tweeting with them. I have to say it was cool to meet Seb and Michele (the winemaker). We arrived to see the beautiful Chateau and the vineyards. Below are pics of our walk around and the barrel tasting. Cabernet Franc is one of my favorites and theirs was spectacular. We wish we could have brought more back with us. They do distribute in Colorado, so I will have to check for it next month. We learned sooooo much about wine and our time with Micaela from La Grande Maison was amazing!
It’s great that they now export to Pennsylvania!

Ahh . . . Wine making, walking
in the country and communing
with the ‘spirits’ father stayed
on the grounds of a rum factory
in Belize – said they were very
generous with the samples, but
he coulden’t bring himself to
try a product who’s manufacture
was the source of the terrible
odor constantly wafting over the
compound. He is and always
will be a wine drinker. Now I
know why Vinyands get all the
tourists. Simply beautiful.
