We spent the morning visiting two wineries in Cahors and loved both of their wines, and have included them in the grand tasting for tonight. We found them to be interesting and complex without the new world over oaking that we have found elsewhere. After another wonderful lunch we drove up to Fronsac and found our very basic B&B. After sampling the wine of the B&B - which wasn't good - we headed to St. Emilion for dinner and a visit to the wine shops there. There is a lot of work going on in St. Emilion and new shops opening. We found a young guy who is representing a wine that is absolutly incredible and Bill and I both think it is one of the best we've ever tasted. At 45€ and 65€ it is too expensive for the wine club but I will get details for anyone who might be interested in getting some.

The weather is still not good - cold and rainy - but we are managing to have a great time anyway.

Our next stop is Margaux and the Medoc.
