We had a walk around the Vouvray vineyards this morning to take a look at potential frost damage.

We had a wonderful day yesterday with Dana & Carlo from Minnesota. A day spent exchanging news & views on food, wine & life.

They say that about houses don’t they? Location, location location! And it’s the same with vines.

A family favourite that I’ll often make for a birthday or celebration, this is my take on a recipe that might otherwise take a lot more time.

Nigel is pruning a parcel of Chenin Blanc in the Vouvray appellation again this year.

My first experience of eating gougères was in the 1980’s when visiting Louis Jadot in Beaune. A huge basket was passed around as we tasted.

It’s easy to see the effects of climate change here in the Loire valley. Over the past 20 years we’ve had more heat and more frost.

A delicious Swiss cheese made from raw milk, Marechal is one our favourites.

Happy New Year! May 2022 be a better year for us all (crossing fingers, toes and frankly anything else that can be crossed).
