Heeeey so I left Bordeaux this morning and am now in Amboise. My FAVORITE EVER Travel Buddy hopped on a train from London to come hang and drink wine with me for a couple of days. Which we have started on, heavily, this very evening. THINGS I LEARNED TODAY: Yeah it’s 2 am,I have no idea. Sleep now, thinking can happen tomorrow. Man, this town is gorgeous, though. I’m so stoked to be here!
And just for fun… I took bottle photos of all the wines we had today. I didn’t want the Anjou to be my favorite because I was worried I had cat biases, but I think it really was the best of the absolutely amazing bunch.
