Good morning We are doing a wine tasting today in the Loire
Valley, which is a famous wine region in France.
Megan and I were literally looking for like hours for a tour
Days, weeks Why won't it focus?
Anyway, we found this perfect tour company.
We got a private pick-up and we're visiting three wineries, having lunch, and also going
to a museum as well. So it'll be a fun day
I'm happy we found it
Why won't it focus?
You see the tears The intensity of the color
Deep, or not So after you have the first note, like that
If it's fruit, or mineral, or animal You have the smell of animal with the red
It's very personal It reminds of childhood, youth
It's your impression Me?
I smell peach Peach, I smell peach
Yellow fruit Pineapple I could smell
Then you have another aroma, perfume Chocolate
Chocolate?
White chocolate, maybe?
I don't know because I just ate chocolate Hi, my name is Daniel, I'm the founder of
Gastronomos with my wife Karen Gastronomos is a small travel agency specializing
in wines and gastronomy in France My wife is a former chef so she's the one
doing all the gastronomy itineraries and experiences, and I'm a sommelier so I'm doing everything
around wine Today we are in the Loire Valley especially
to visit winemakers making wine in a natural way.
We just visited Francois Chidaine and now we are at Vincent Careme and we're about to
taste
a few of their Chenins and Cabernets as well.
Are you excited for this lunch?
I am, yeah I have this thing of like smelling my hand
after I touch a dog Why do you do that?
Cause I just don't want it to smell bad To the castle
Chateau Chateau du clos luce
It's where Leonardo Da Vinci used to live Leonardo Da Vinci~
It was a good break from the wine I'm ready for some more
Going to one more winery Last winery of the day
I think we have a little bit more in us to drink
We're revived after the museum/castle visit Normally it's a grape variety we find in a
rosé but...
For me, on the nose you have all the spicy pepper...
