Bergerac: Food & Wine in Perigord
I love my job! This weekend I get to accompany three English journalists on a foodie press trip through one of France’s gastronomic capitals, Bergerac. The Perigord is full of charming half timbered houses, roling hills and truffels. Today was an education on the Bergerac terroir and apellations with a tasting at two wineries. Tomorrow the real fun starts. We are up early for a truffel hunt and cooking with truffels. Can’t wait!
Pessac Leognan Chateau Pape Clement and Haut Bailly
Visits at Chateau Pape Clement start with the history of the property. Each chateau has a story to tell. Rich in architecture and culture, Bordeaux has so much to offer the wine enthusiast.
American-owned Haut Bailly is an exceptional cru and they have an exciting new project! They have just hired a new chef and can propose lunches and dinners for small groups. A rare treat in this area!
