Ask the Wheel
I'm passing this question on for a friend (oh O.K., it's for my Mom.) Any words of wisdom for her?
"I leave Friday the 16th in the AM for two weeks in Burgundy at a house we have rented in Vezelay (near Auxerre).... Please ask Michael if he has any wine or winery suggestions. We will have two cars and lots of time. We are about 1 hour drive west of Dijon or Beaune. We have cut out many articles and understand the vagaries of the grape in that area. We are just south of Chablis, yet the four of us are generally red wine enthusiasts, but not stupid or intransigent. It may just be that this area is not as lush as the prior rental in Provence just up the lane from Gigondas. Now that was a place to drink wine!"
