  • After two months in Spain I'm finally back in France. As my friend Stephanie was visiting the amazing Ed and Anna in Bordeaux I took the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and fly to Bordeaux for a long needed catch up.

    Hello Michael, it’s so good to see you back. I’m glad you had a lovely time in Madrid and I’m looking forward to hearing all about it. You and all your friends who make regular videos about taking care of the lovely old French chateaus have been a real spirit lifter during these quiet days. There are 12 vloggers I follow and enjoy each week and I much prefer them to the regular TV programming. Keep safe, keep well and I’ll talk to you again soon.

It’s actually on Lake Ontario, right across the lake from where we live in Rochester, NY.

    what a stunning location and the wine cave was spectacular . What a fantastic location when all the lockdown and covid a thing of the past for a classical music picnic on the lawns maybe stfanie could come back and sing and philipe and micheal play the piano.
    the cellar wine tasting experience the setting wow. i loved steffanies hot water bottle!!!! I have only been wine tasting once it was in a vineyard setting in Italy Tuscany. It was an amazing setting and we all sat round a huge table and tasted wines. they asked us to do the swirling and then we sniffed the bouquet. To be honest i couldn't smell the wood the oak and the wines that had a hint of whatever. Then we did the slurpy thing where you slurp it round your mouth and to be honest you can savor and taste the full flavor and no we didnt spit it out we swallowed it. They started at the cheaper bottles and with each testing they stepped up in the price of the bottles and as it was in succession i did notice that the flavour of the wine got better as it went up in price and i am by no means an expert on wines . But this magical experience of a wine tasting in Tuscany was one that will mean a lot to me to reflect back on in my older years

    German pancakes! I worked at a deli with a gentleman named Gunther, from Germany, who taught me how to make these. They were very popular with our customers. He made a few things that were very special and that I sincerely miss - he made his own sausages and bratwurst, wonderful Split Pea soup and German Potato Salad, as well as the Pancakes. I really miss those. Thanks for the reminder - just seeing the plate sent me back 20 years to a really good memory.

    I live not far from Niagara on the lake and have gone wine tasting at several of their vineyards. Such lovely wines. Definately some of my favourites!

    I normally don't comment on videos. But I had to comment on this one! I live in the Napa Valley in California and work in the wine biz. It was so much fun to see you in the caves and to see what bottles you opened! WOW I wanted to be there too...especially for the 05 Merlot. I love Merlot!. Maybe some day I will come to visit. I hope you can come to Napa some time and taste our wine. I am in the process of creating a TH-cam channel that will focus on wine, wine tasting and the food of Napa Valley. I will keep you posted on the channel's development. Cheers!

    I am from the Niagara on the Lake region. We have many wineries, and create some beautiful ice wine. What a surprise to hear it not only mentioned but Pillitteri's compared to Bordeaux wine. Wow!

    Absolutely fantastic vlog Micheal, so glad to see you back. You were born to do this, you look relaxed and happy. Wonderful to see you all together. Ed and Anna are amazing hosts and what a delight to see the wine cellars. Hope you’re going to stay at La Lande with Stephane soon. But maybe a trip home to see the family and your puppy xxxx

    You have such lovely friends. I'm quite jealous of that wine tasting. I do get to go soon to Napa Valley in California and go do one myself when I visit my son and his family this summer. God Bless you all. 💖
