<\/p>\nWell, we’re back. Sort of. Still trying to integrate all the experiences. If Italy was a soft series of rich dioramas, France was more of a kaleidoscope made up of an endless maze of traffic roundabouts, old villages with labyrinths of narrow streets, and a vast array of micro-regions, each with its own individual character. We’ll have more to say about these things later on. For now, we just want to say it’s good to be home, and we’re looking forward to seeing you this weekend, Friday 4-7pm and Saturday from 2-6.<\/p>\n
One of the cornerstones of every French village is the boulangerie, where you grab your morning baguette or croissants, fresh from the oven. Here’s a photo we took outside one:<\/p>\n

\nThat’s life
\nIt gives you strength and balance
\nYour bread is prepared
\nBefore you with passion …
\nYour Boulanger kneads and fashions
\nWith authentic gestures
\nThen he lets it sit to grow long
\nTo give it its full flavor
\nIt smells good the bread of your Artisan Boulanger!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3019\/2969222944_39b5942195.jpg\")

\nOffers abundant notes of honeysuckle, orange marmalade, white currants, and tropical fruits. Crisp, elegant, mid-weight, and revealing no evidence of its wood aging.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAglianico 100%; Deep garnet-purple colour. Raisin, blueberry and underbrush aromas. Some dried rose petals and spice. Crisp acidity and a medium body, velvety tannins, long finish. Addictive!<\/em><\/p>\n
\nCabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah blend; aromas of black cherry, blackberry, strawberry, cedar and a hint of orange zest fill your glass and then your mouth with lingering pepper & tobacco . A definite winner as weather turns colder.<\/p>\n
\n44% Syrah, 32% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.\u00a0 Luch, ripe plums, red currants, black cherries, and a hint of dried roses and herbs on the nose are balanced by acidity and tannins that are smooth and graceful, not overbearing.\u00a0 Rich on the palate and long on the finish–a favorite around here.
