A visit from a friend

This past week I had a friend, Jesse from UCD that was here visiting me. He actually is keeping a blog like I am about his three weeks tour in Europe. I am adding a link to his blog because it is in a way about me and Jeremie. I will post some other pictures to go along with it.

Here is a picture of Jesse and me at Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte.



Jeremie and me at Smith HLF.



Jeremie in the cellar of SHLF.



We took Jesse out to a dinner at a favorite of any French person. It's a restaurant that is odd in the sense that they only have one option, but people line up because it is always the same, and always good. It is called L'Entrecote, named for a cut of beef that is tender, a center fillet. They have a "secret sauce" that they put on the steak that the French just adore. We ended up taking a friend of Jeremie and mine with us, she was REALLY excited about going, because there is always a line, and when I say always I mean every day, rain or shine.



This is a different chateau we visited and tasted at, it's a much smaller production as well as being lesser well known, but it is also a "grand cru" from the graves region, but they make really really good wine.




Next we have David, who will next week in Bordeaux, if he isn't having too much fun traveling around. He sent me an email today that he might extend! Which is great! Much love to all.
