A Week in the Heart of Bordeaux Wine Country | Read
more... |
 The week we spent at La Maison des Vignes was truly memorable. Though we have visited the french countryside before, never had we felt so much at home, and so much in touch with the people and the culture of France. From the beginning we felt very comfortable with Pascal and Michele -we could converse easily as they both speak fluent english- . The house we were to call home was lovingly restored and charmingly furnished, with every possible confort. As we came to meet their families and friends, we knew we had entered a very special circle of warmth and hospitality. In addition to this friendly atmosphere, the programme and operations were first class. Michele and Pascal are experts in the areas of food and wine and every meal was a culinary delight of taste and presentation and included many of the regional specialties. And the wine tastings ! with Pascal's careful teaching and sampling the wines at several vineyards, we are able, in just a week, to improve our own taste and discrimination considerably. It has truly opened up a whole new world for us.
