Opened a bottle of wine this weekend - Decided to try something with it before I finish it off. So much snow lately - wanted to do something that felt warm.
Red, red wine, goes to my head
Makes me forget that I
Still need you so...
Red, red wine, it's up to you
All I can do, I've done
Memories won't go
Memories won't go
I'd have sworn that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong, now I find
Just one thing makes me forget

Down the throat of the dragon-2
Framed by a wine trellis, 2050.09 leads a Sonderzug to the Sonnwendfeier (Summer solstice festival) in Spitz on the Donau and is seen here shortly before Weißenkirchen in der Wachau. The Donauuferbahn is an exceptionally scenic line that passes through the famed Wachau valley of the Donau River. Sadly it is a victim of Lower Austrian transport policy and has had its middle segment abandoned and the remainder between Krems and Emmersdorf reduced to a weekend tourist operation with rather unphotogenic golden DMUs. Not only unfortunate from the photographers point of view but also the passengers. The line is not included in the local tarriff agreement so a strange situation prevails where a bus line and the railway operate parallel to one another on the same schedule.

In the courtyard of the castle of Chasselas, we can better appreciate the architectural interest of the whole, as shown by the two towers which throne on one side of the building in the photo.
There was a cellar, and I tasted with a very pleasant women. She taught me that we were still in Burgundy, not yet in Beaujolais, and that they produce mostly Saint-Véran wine there.
It also seems that during the french Revolution, the villagers almost burned down the castle. They did not do it in the end, because they were afraid for their houses.
The two Saint-Véran wines that I tasted were famous, so I took a box of them. The shop had also many red wines: all the big names in Beaujolais wines (Fleury, Saint-Amour, etc.), but also great red wines from Burgundy (Pommard, Gevrey Chambertin, Alex Corton, etc.) which are usually only found in the Beaune region and in its surrounding cellars, or otherwise at prohibitive prices at wine merchants. It's rare to find so many quality choice in a cellar. they were in general at reasonable prices given the quality of the wines.
As I had to buy some wine to age it, I left with two other boxes of wine, one of Beaujolais wines, and one for the Burgundy Grands Crus . I have a good wine cellar at home, I plan to drink the great Burgundy wines in about ten years, I still have other great wines in reserve until then.
During the month of May, they are having an special day at the castle, I think I will go there again, and why not visit the cellars of the castle at that time, it is done only by appointment.

Œnotourisme
Dans la cour du château de Chasselas, on peut mieux apprécier l'intérêt architectural de l'ensemble, comme le montrent les deux tours qui trônent d'un côté de l'édifice sur la photo.
Il y avait un caveau, et j'ai dégusté avec une dame très aimable. Elle m'a appris qu'on était encore en Bourgogne, pas encore dans le Beaujolais, et qu'on produit surtout du Saint-Véran sur place. Il paraît aussi qu'à la révolution, les villageois ont failli brûler le château. Ils ne l'ont pas fait pour finir, car ils ont eu peur pour leurs maisons.
Les deux Saint-Véran que j'ai goûtés étaient fameux, j'en ai donc pris une caisse. La boutique était aussi très fournie en vins rouges : tous les grands noms du Beaujolais (Fleury, Saint-Amour, etc..), mais aussi des grands crus rouges de Bourgogne (Pommard, Gevrey Chambertin, Alex Corton, etc...) qu'on ne trouve habituellement que dans la région de Beaune ou dans les caves aux alentours de Beaune, ou sinon à des prix prohibitifs chez des marchands de vins. C'est rare qu'on trouve autant de choix de qualité dans un caveau. Le tout était en général à des prix raisonnables vu la qualité des vins.
Comme je devais racheter du vin pour le faire vieillir, je suis parti avec deux autres caisses, une de Beaujolais, et une pour les grands crus de Bourgogne. J'ai à la maison une bonne cave à vins, je compte boire les grands Bourgogne dans une dizaine d'années, j'ai encore d'autres grands vins en réserve d'ici là.
Courant mai, ils font une journée spéciale au château, je pense que j'irai y refaire un tour, et pourquoi pas à ce moment-là visiter les caves du château, cela se fait uniquement sur rendez-vous.

A beautiful wine colored iris in afternoon sunshine. This year's irises were spectacular! So beautiful!
My sister made this cork board for me. It is enclosed in an old picture frame and looks beautiful. I obviously was more than willing to help with contributing the corks from drinking wine.
The Third ‘R’ – Recycling
The last stage of the waste hierarchy is to recycle.
To recycle something means that it will be transformed again into a raw material that can be shaped into a new item.
on the table
while we are speaking,
the light of a bottle
illuminates this moment:
drink up and remember
in every drop of gold,
in every topaz glass,
in every purple ladle,
that autumn labored
to fill these vessels
with wine; and in his labors
let the simple man remember
the dark soil and his duty
to tend the sweet grapes
--M deO
