A dog's life in Burgundy

A veteran world traveler, Yoda seems to prefer the white grand cru, Bâtard Montrachet, to the red, Romanée-Conti. The well-behaved Shih-Tzu's been with us in cellars, vineyards, tastings and restaurants all week, the lucky dog.

What we do is called "tasting with your feet." Nothing imprints a wine's characteristics on your memory like drinking it in the vineyard where it was grown.

My brother and I did wonderful picnics at both of these vineyards with good wines but not "the product of the vineyard". Great memories. YOU are the lucky dog. Hope to do it with you one of these seasons. Dr.Joe
