FInally, a real night’s sleep, followed by a brisk walk through the village of Vosne-Romanée this morning (to help burn off the foie gras from yesterday, of course!) I spent most of the day with an exciting producer on the Côte de Nuits – the name to be revealed in the near future, as soon as the details of our deal are nailed down. Suffice it so say we will be adding two or three more amazing Grand Crus to the portfolio next year… Enjoyed another tremndous meal today – lunch at Castel Tres Girard in Morey-St. Denis. I had been there once before with Véronique Drouhin, Jacques Seysses &Etienne de Montille a few years ago, and I’m happy to say it is a good as ever. It’s another strong recommendation for those traveling in these parts… I’m off to dinner at the home of my friend Benjamin Leroux of Domaine Comte Armand – I understand there may be a few wines of interest to be found…
