Wines of the Loire Valley
04/06/2007
How do you say 'Cheers' in French? This is just one of my several questions as I drink my way (!) through the Loire, enjoying some of France's finest vintages...
Another urgent question - how to possibly describe the taste of these very special wines?? I'll have to depend on my friends at the chateau, during our little degustation (wine tasting). And of course, my imagination comes in handy too:
White flowers
Pear
Force
Power
'Long in the mouth' (?)
Citrusy
Delicious
a little Flinty
...and very Refreshing!
Tchin!

"Long in the mouth" = "I've tasted a few too many wines, and they are starting to return to my mouth; I need to sit down." LOL! Love seeing the beautiful chateaux...
This episode is fabulous!
