I Like French Food and Drink - A Maconnais Chardonnay.

If you're visiting the Mconnais area, and you should, be sure to stop by the town of Cluny and its medieval abbey, once the biggest church in all Europe.

But do visit Autuns Portes ( Archways ) and the Thtre Romain, once the biggest arena in Gaul ( Roman France ) with room for fifteen thousand spectators. Talking about Napoleon, he and his bro studied at the local army academy, where at age 9 the future Emperor first learned French. Before reviewing the Burgundy wine and imported cheeses that we were sufficiently fortunate to purchase at a regional wine store and a local Italian food store, here are one or two ideas of what to eat with native wines when touring this pretty area. Burgundy red wines are produced in an area of France stretching from Dijon south to Beaujolais. 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. Usually , these burgundy wines are fashioned to be enjoyed in their youth, barely chilled to bring out their berry-like personality. The absolute best vineyard sites are labeled Grand Cru. Other vineyard sites of phenomenal ( although not Grand Cru ) quality are labeled Premier Cru. A Burgundy wine label will always list the most categorical physical location the grapes spring from, and usually nothing else. My first meal was a Poulet Chasseur ( Chicken Cacciatore ) that I made with substantial care. The wine was extraordinarily fragile and yet not puny. It was composed of an omelet with brown mushrooms, local provolone cheese, and the fixings. What are you expecting from a Bordeaux? BTW, the labels term En Paradis wasn't the slightest bit justified.
