I like French food and drink - A Maconnais Chardonnay.

Among Frances eleven wine-growing regions Burgundy ranks 4th in acreage if you include the Beaujolais region, which the majority do despite their substantial differences. Click the link If you want information about burgundy in france. If you are visiting the Mconnais area, and you should, be sure to stop by the hamlet of Cluny and its medieval abbey, once the biggest church in all Europe. The site contains a horse-breeding center set up by Napoleon using stone from the abbey. Youll also wish to see the Muse Ochier, a Romanesque lapidary museum.

Do not forget to tour the city of Autun once called Augustodonum, town of Augustus. But do visit Autuns Portes ( Archways ) and the Thtre Romain, once the biggest arena in Gaul ( Roman France ) with room for fifteen thousand spectators. Each Aug ( do you suspect thats a coincidence? ) historically costumed neighbors put on a period piece. Begin with Pt en Crote de Grenouilles au Bleu de Bresse ( Frog and Bresse Blue-Cheese Pie ). The southernmost red Burgundy area is Beaujolais, where the grapes used are Gamay instead of Pinot Noir and the wines are made to stress fruit and charm. Typically , these burgundy wines are fashioned to be enjoyed in their youth, a touch chilled to bring out their berry-like personality. The Pouilly-Vinzelles is a not extremely well known neighbour of the more dear Pouilly-Fuiss. Continuing to work my way down the food scale, the subsequent pairing concerned a baked noodle dish, a cheese-less lasagna with tomatoes, onions, peas, and chicken burger. The 1st pairing was with a soft, buttery north Italian Bel Paese cows milk cheese.
