Another day in wine paradise

I think that this was Pouilly Fuisse day, but pretty much any pics we took of wines, were wines we liked
 Macon was on the menu, and for price-quality -value type wines, they cannot be beat.
 Here is another shot of one of the halls, to show you just how many wineries were represented (lots !!! ) and how tough a job we had.
 Macon Pierre Clos --- nectar of the gods !!
 Overview of the hall again
 Pouilly Loche .... and its cousin Pouilly Vinzelles ..... outlying areas with really good quality wines ...
 Esus, Ary and Oseph, what is going on with the wine -- its so ood !!!
 More food. In Beaune, it was generally buffet type deals, not that we were complaining !!
 The Corton brothers, together again !!
 Ahh, the breathalyzer .... given to all participants, and coming to rental car near you, as of July 2012. Apparently a serious drive to curtail drink driving will result in all rental cars as of July 2012 having breathalyzers on board. That way, if you get stopped for being over the limit, its Devils Island for you for 25 years. France used to have a "laissez-faire" attitude to drink driving, and then did a 360 degree tilt and now are completely the opposite. If you drink, and think of driving, you will pay a hefty penalty. Better to walk, or take a cab, is my advice.
