Wine Tasting the Grand Crus of Burgundy

Tomorrow, we are off to France for a week and a half. First, a few days in Paris. Then an Orient-Express river barge cruise thru Burgundy. This is a unique trip they organize once a year to taste the 33 Grand Cru wines of Burgundy and visit several of the wineries.

Only 12 passengers on the barge. If this is anything like the other Orient-Express trips, hotels, and river cruises we've taken around the world, this will be an amazing culinary and wine experience.

I tried to recall the various Orient-Express travels we've taken:

• Road to Mandalay River Cruise in Myanmar


• Orient-Express Safari Camps in Botswana


• La Residence Phou Vao in Luang Prabang, Laos


• Their (4) hotels in Peru - Miraflores Park Hotel in Lima, Colca Lodge in Colca Canyon, Hotel Monasterio in Cusco, and Sanctuary Lodge in Machu Picchu

Check out our postings along the way as we savor different wine tastings. Will definitely have to make comparisons to California Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to see which we prefer.
