But it was delicious and reminds me of her.

I love your travelogues, and your visit to ...Riley,<br />I love your travelogues, and your visit to the winery brought back some happy memories. We've had a few visits to France, a couple of special ones to Provence, like Chateauneuf-du Pape, and Vaison la Romaine, where the wineries are lush and full of amazing wines. The only problem is carrying them back to the States, so, lucky you to be able to enjoy them where you are. My new wip(after Too Damned HOt) takes place in Provence and I'm certain my heroine will be making the wine loop with her new sweetie pie, a younger French Legionnaire. French wine, a romantic Frenchman, and a loaf of that gorgeous bread...<br />Oh, what joie de vivre.<br />Enjoy.<br />EllieEleanor Sullohttp://eleanorsullo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225509207139912540.post-82172523714189859602010-03-24T22:11:02.584+01:002010-03-24T22:11:02.584+01:00Rach, I think you would like the gewürtztraminer. ...Rach, I think you would like the gewürtztraminer. It's sweet, similar to a moscato. If I don't drink it all before then, I'll bring some to nationals.<br /><br />Gale, that's the most important part, enjoying the taste. You may have liked the rosé.<br /><br />Tiffany, the trip was so much fun. Too short but we crammed a lot in over two days.<br /><br />LOL, Toni. I've got it right here.<br /><br />Felicia, I did try the the tarte flambée, though we call it flammkuchen. In fact, I loved it so much, I'm making it for dinner on Saturday. I'll probably post pictures and the recipe next week.<br /><br />Carly, I'm so glad you like the photos. The pics of Colmar (coming soon) are even better.Riley Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363595230073330154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225509207139912540.post-50866374086096349532010-03-24T19:59:01.715+01:002010-03-24T19:59:01.715+01:00I don't drink wine, alas.

I'm no big fan of gewürtztraminer though - too perfumed for me (though with the right food they magically turn just rich and flavorful). Alsatian Pinot Gris is my favorite go-to in white wines because it goes with everything. My friend and I joke that it's the LBD of wines. <br /><br />Randomly, Alsace is a weird wine region since you actually name the grapes - usually in France, you let the region speak for itself without mentioning the grapes (like Chablis - you'd never hear it talked of as "chardonnay" while technically it is). <br /><br />And did you miss out on the tarte flambée?Felicia Holthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15952389942269153931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225509207139912540.post-86317288035243652272010-03-24T18:47:13.358+01:002010-03-24T18:47:13.358+01:00It looks lovely!!

My #1 favorite is white zinfandel. I also like Riunite Lambrusco Emilia. And I always drink my wine with ice in it. I really need to take a trip like this and learn something.Gale Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05204257353139908750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225509207139912540.post-12138532821421966972010-03-24T13:48:57.356+01:002010-03-24T13:48:57.356+01:00Oh YUM YUM, I want some of that bread!!

I would like that G*****whatever you called it, if its sweet. If it smells or tastes like rubbing alcohol I'm not drinking it and no reds; instant headache for me!<br />You know I'm seriously jealous over this little trip of yours ...:)Rachel Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15558320176729409822noreply@blogger.com
