I received a comment regarding our visit to Vosne Romanee and our view of the Romanee Conti vineyards. The comment contained a link to a fascinating must read story about the area and an extortion plot specifically tied to Romanee Conti vines. A great read!!!

La Maison du Poulet de Bresse
Yummy lunch of Bresse chicken for all of us! London couldn't understand why she couldn't "ride" the chicken in front of the restaurant. I guess she has been on one too many carousel rides.
Have I mentioned this is the greatest place on Earth!?!?!?
Cote de Or
We toured the Cote de Or area today. This area is simply put a sea of vines and includes what is described as the best and most expensive wine in the world - Romanee Conti that is located in the village of Vosne-Romanee.
After that we drove to La Maison de Bresse in Romanay and had the Bressee chicken in cream sauce. I cannot describe how tender and tasty this chicken is. I guess you just have to experience this to get it.

Country Baby....This is not a look I would recommend, but she pulls it off!
I have never seen a happier baby! Our daily routine involves exploring local villages in the mornings, an afternoon nap and then a little girl in her bathing suit and boots, exploring the in the backyard, swimming, picking cherries, gathering rocks and of course sampling all the local foods from the various markets we visit each day.
I would say the country life agrees with her.....perhaps not so much with her fashion-sense. ;->
