Today we rented a car and headed to the vinyards. We had some initial trouble figuring out how to drive all the one way streets in Dijon so we could park the car, but persistence paid off. We explored some beautiful countryside, many tiny towns like Arcenant, Meuilley, Marey-les-Fussey, Chax and Premeaux-Prissey. Many of the builidngs date back to the 12th century.
We had lunch at Nuits St. Georges in an outdoor cafe called Cafe Central. Our first 'Cave' wine tasting was in Marey-les-Fussey at Domaine Michel Joannet. The wine was delicious. Then we went to Premeau-Prissey for another tasting. We drove to Vougeot and toured Chateau du Clos de Vougeot. They were famous for forming an alliance to save the ailing wine industry in the 30's. They still hold celebrations of that pact. In one of the little towns we came upon a very strange vehicle called the super mobile. It was yellow and looked like an airplane. We saw it speed by us later that day. We headed back to Dijon and had dinner at an outdoor cafe right near our apartment called Cafe Gourmand.
