Bonjour mes amis! Jason, Katie, Lee and I decided to explore the southern part of Bourgogne around Mâcon. We had lunch at La Maison Mâconnaise which has been in business since 1958. Then we set out traveling north towards Beaune to see where it would take us. Our first stop was Berzé-le-Châtel where we found an interesting old château. From there we saw some small signs leading to a small cave and vignoble, Cave du Père Tienne, in Sologny, a nearby village. We knocked on the door and were greeted by a very friendly lady, Agnès Panay. She and her husband, Eric, ran a small business of "Mâcon" wines. She showed us their five hectares of vineyards and then gave us a tour of their cave. She explained each kind of wine that they made. This, to me, is the "best of the best" in meeting French people, seeing their homes and businesses, and learning about their lives. What a find for all of us! Merci to Eric et Agnès!!
Mme. Wallace
