4:29pm | Heathrow Airport, England

Saturday, Sunday: No scheduled tastings Saturday, lots of samples from around the country to taste through. Mostly distributing backlabels, consolidating baggage, soaking in the Place Carnot. Sunday, a few hours in Paris - Palm Sunday at Notre Dame, Renoir and Monet in the Tuileries, lunch at an old standby.
Quite enthusiastic about the 2010 vintage in the Côte d’Or - tasted more exciting wines than not. A handful of new producers, some new appellations, and a general tack back towards a greater focus on Burgundy.
Á bientôt.

6:31pm | Beaune, France

Thursday, Friday: Weather still 60 and sunny with a breeze - vignerons are nervous about le gelé (frost) because vines are beginning to bud. A few Chalonnaise tastings yesterday, a Gevrey tasting this morning - other mailed samples when we have time. Mostly outside writing the April Futures Issue - out early next week.

Last night in Beaune - then a day to make our way to Dijon, a few hours of April in Paris, and then back to the states.
