A short ride from Nantes to Clisson, France
The beauty of France is just startling, everywhere you go.
There's that tree again.

While in downtown Clisson visiting the local department of tourism for brochures, etc., I ran into Mark, one of the owner's of John McByrne's Irish Pub in Nantes (a place with which I have some familiarity). Mark lives in Clisson in a compound that's been in the family for four or five generations. His brother has a vineyard producing several kinds of wine. On Mark's suggestion we went and toured the winery and, of course, got a sample or two. Mark's nephew gave us the tour and he was a great guy, very knowledgeable about the processes.
