open skies, the a6, and chablis, then...



so, open skies out of newark was ok. it really was not their fault that tsa took apart my entire camera case and made me go through the machines three times. i really do not understand why the woman had to take apart my camera bodies and got finger prints on the mirrors, or why her supervisor refused to allow me to prevent her from trashing my nikon cameras. that is not the fault of open skies and at least i made the flight after all of the hassle. i saw no signs that all camera equipment had to be disassembled and place in basins, and it really does not explain why she had to take apart camera bodies...

that said, we decided to go to chablis on our way to gevrey chambertin. ok, there are x grand cru vineyards around the village. it was market day and a hoot. we got a croton of chevre from a wonderful lady and based it on which of the "varieties" she recommended. white wine, pale, fruity nose of green apples, steely minerality and well balanced acid. i like chard and this takes it to an entirely different level. but the higher level came when we got to gevrey chambertin. as i write this i am pushing a 40 hour day and i had an afternoon of tastings to almost end all (kelly m's french wine society morning remains the best ever).

the internet here is slow to upload photos, the next post will be the highlight of my afternoon walking gevrey chambertin. and, dinner will be at chez guy.
