Also on our website, we recommend an entertaining blog about the development of barging holidays in France. They were pioneered by the charismatic entrepreneur, the late Gerard Morgan-Grenville, whose varied life included many achievements.

Here's an excerpt, from

Life aboard French barges used to be very different. They were used for transporting heavy goods and manned by bargees who lived aboard. The barge was their home. It was a tough but independent life and the bargees themselves were often idiosyncratic characters. The idea of using their boats for leisure purposes, let alone luxury leisure, was entirely alien. It took an equally idiosyncratic Englishman to spot the potential.

The late Gerard Morgan-Grenville spent his life pioneering new ideas. He spent some time in California in the sixties before setting up the world-renowned Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales, UK. As well as being an ardent environmentalist, he was also a successful businessman who founded a string of businesses. In the 1970s he bought an old barge, The Virginia Anne, and spent many summers living on the French waterways.

The story of those years is told in a series of entertaining books that he wrote and illustrated. Barging into France, Barging into Southern France and Barging into Burgundy recount Gerard's adventures, which were many and mixed. In Barging into Burgundy he survives sampling a lock keeper's homemade eau-de-vie, which was basically raw spirit and caused him to fall naked and inebriated into the canal. He learned how to mend holes in the barge the traditional way using bacon and quick drying cement (the bacon is squishy enough to squash into the holes and the cement provides a seal), and that bringing peacock feathers on board is a certain harbinger of disaster.

Despite the disasters, Gerard's friends adored staying on the barge and he had so many requests that he started a luxury barge vacation company, which was the first of its kind. He ran this with great success before retiring to Dorset, UK, in the 1990s.

Barging has retained its popularity and Burgundy is one of the most delightful places to enjoy this historic mode of transport. We cruise the upper Burgundy Canal in the North of Burgundy, between the two classic French towns of Tanlay and Venaray les Laume. Tranquility and comfort accompany us on our journey. Every day we leave our barge to set off on foot to explore Renaissance châteaux, dramatic cliffs, wooded hills, medieval towns, lush valleys and ancient vineyards. Fine French cuisine prepared on board by our personal chef and accompanied by regional wines make this trip a gourmet's delight.

Oregon Pinot Noir Tasting at Wine Watch

I remember my trip to Oregon in the summer of 1994 for the IPNC (International Pinot Noir Celebration) this is one of the best wine parties that I have ever attended. The festival is limited to 500 attendees as it is hosted by McMinnville College and that is all they can accommodate in their lecture facilities. I remember not only were the quality of the wines at the highest level but the people in attendance were some of the most passionate Pinot Noir lovers that I had ever come across. And although winemaking began in the 19th century in this state it is only recently that its potential has been recognized by the rest of the world.
It was in 1979 when serious wine producers started to look at the potential of this area as Eyrie Vineyards' 1975 South Block Pinot Noir placed in the top 10 of Burgundy-style wines at the Gault-Millau French Wine Olympiades, and was rated the top Pinot Noir. This send the news around the wine world and shortly after Robert Drouhin, head of Burgundy's legendary Maison Joseph Drouhin, was visiting America's west coast promoting the Drouhin Burgundies. The California wine industry was just starting to receive its first recognition back then, but there was little if anything going on in Oregon. Robert's first visit to the Northwest and its earliest vineyards left him with the impression that it quite possibly would be Oregon, not California, that would ultimately prove to be the best place to grow the great grape of Burgundy - Pinot noir.
Inspired by his trip to Oregon and the results of 1979 tasting that was held in Paris, where, for the first time, the best new Oregon Pinot noirs were tasted in competition with the finest Burgundies. Robert decided to hold his own blind tasting in 1980 at the Drouhin cellars in France, with several of the best Oregon Pinot noirs going up against the finest Drouhin Grand Crus. It was a Drouhin Grand Cru that took first place this time, but an Oregon wine (the now legendary 1975 Eyrie Vineyards South Block) placed 2nd by a very narrow margin with the French experts. News of this tasting brought the first widespread international attention to Oregon Pinot noir.
After a few years time Robert's daughter Véronique just graduated with an advanced degree in enology from the University of Dijon, and wanted to expand her experience by working in Oregon. Véronique interned with Adelsheim Vineyards, Bethel Heights, and Eyrie for the 1986 vintage. Later on, Robert mentioned to David Adelsheim that it might be interesting to buy a piece of land in Oregon, to see what it might produce. What started as a passing thought began its transformation into reality when Adelsheim phoned the Drouhins in Beaune not long thereafter to tell them of a property that was for sale that they might be interested in. The rest is history and with one of Burgundies foremost wine producing families moving to Oregon the writing was on the wall that this wine producing region would soon get its much deserved recognition as one of the world's premier Pinot Noir growing regions.
Today, the state of Oregon in the United States has established an international reputation for its production of wine. Oregon has several different growing regions within the state's borders which are well-suited to the cultivation of grapes; additional regions straddle the border between Oregon and the states of Washington and Idaho. Wine making dates back to pioneer times in the 1840s, with commercial production beginning in the 1960s.
American Viticultural Areas entirely within the state include the Willamette Valley, Southern Oregon, Umpqua Valley, and Rogue Valley AVAs. Parts of the Columbia Gorge, Walla Walla Valley, and Snake River Valley AVAs lie within Oregon. Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris are the top two grapes grown, with over 16,000 tons (14,515 metric tons) harvested in 2005. As of 2005, Oregon wine makers produced over 1.5 million cases combined.
Currently there are over 300 wineries in Oregon and a bustling tourism industry has developed around wine tasting. Much of the tourism focuses on the wineries and tasting rooms in and around the Yamhill Valley southwest of Portland.
You don't have to travel to Oregon to see some of the top wines being made here as we have brought the wines to you. Tonight we will taste over 30 of this state's top wines and Wine Watch Catering's Toni Lampasone is making a few tasty treats to accompany the tasting wines and the fee for this event is $35 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463.

Puligny Montrachet Tasting -- Episode #986

Gary Vaynerchuk talks about his love of White Burgundies, specifically the wines of Puligny-Montrachet. He tastes 3 different Pulignys and shares his thoughts on them.

Jacques de Molay

Jacques de Molay, also spelt Molai, was the 23rd and last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, leading the Order from 20 April 1292 until it was dissolved by order of Pope Clement V in 1307. Though little is known of his actual life and deeds except for his last years as Grand Master, he is the best known Templar, along with the Order's founder and first Grand Master, Hugues de Payens. Jacques de Molay's goal as Grand Master was to reform the Order, and adjust it to the situation in the Holy Land during the waning days of the Crusades. As European support for the Crusades had dwindled, other forces were at work which sought to disband the Order and claim the wealth of the Templars as their own. King Philip IV of France, deeply in debt to the Templars, had Molay and many other French Templars arrested in 1307 and tortured into making false confessions. When Molay later retracted his confession, Philip had him burned upon a scaffold on an island in the River Seine in front of Notre Dame de Paris, in March 1314. The sudden end of both the centuries-old order of Templars and the dramatic execution of its last leader turned Molay into a legendary figure.

Places to see in ( Dijon - France ) Palais de Justice

The Parliament of Dijon (initially Parliament of Burgundy from 1354 to 1480 , and current court of appeal of Dijon ) is a Parliament of the old regime founded in 1354 by the Duke Philip II of Burgundy with Beaune , transferred to Dijon in 1480 by King Louis XI of France. The Parliament of Burgundy comes from the old Curia Ducis , Council of the Dukes of Burgundy , housed in the Hotel of the Dukes of Burgundy in Beaune in 1354 by Duke Philip II of Burgundy.

After the annexation of part of the duchy of Burgundy /
Burgundian state in the kingdom of France in 1477 , King Louis XI decided his transfer to Dijon, in reaction against the city of Beaune who had sided against him. In fact, in order to satisfy the inhabitants of the County, another court of the Parliament held its meetings atSalins while that of the duchy was definitively placed in Dijon. In November 1480 Louis I of Amboise proceeded on behalf of his brother John III Amboise , governor of Burgundy, the installation of the new parliament premises belonging to the Chamber of Accounts.

During the epidemic of plague in 1499 , parliamentarians withdrew in Beaune and consent to resettle in Dijon in 1507 as against the promise of building a new building. He was deputy in 1524 at the Grand'Chambre , a room specialized in criminal cases Tournelle . In1575 appears the House of Requests , followed in 1589 by the creation of the House of Investigations , instructed to investigate the proceedings by examining the evidence collected. During this period of the xvi th century , Parliament refused to register the edict of January 1562 granting Calvinists freedom of worship.

From the years 1588 - 1589 the formation of the League led to a split of Parliament with the creation of a dissenting Parliament (favorable to Henri IV ) to Flavigny-sur-Ozerain then toSemur-in-Auxois. The conversion of King Henry IV and his victory at Fontaine-Française in 1595 against the League promotes the return to unity. During the Fronde , the Parliament is divided again into two camps, forcing Louis XIV to intervene taking Dijon November 15, 1658 a court of justice .

In the xviii th century , the reform Maupeou causes a renewal of the members of Parliament, who nevertheless knew how to defend the privileges of the province and went popular with measures in favor of the debtors. In1774 , the restoration of the old parliamentary privileges after the advent of Louis XVI gave place to great public demonstrations. Parliament was put on leave following the French Revolution on November 3, 1789 . The palace is currently home to the Dijon Court of Appeal .

( Dijon - France ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Dijon . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Dijon - France

Domaine Alain Chavy, Puligny-Montrachet

The Chavy family has had roots in Puligny for almost 200 years. In 1976, after years of selling grapes to negociants, they began to bottle wines under their own label and soon established a reputation as one of the finest domaines in the village. However, in 2003, after a family dispute, the estate was dissolved. The brothers Jean-Louis and Alain Chavy, who had jointly run the domaine, parted company and created their own estates.

Alain Chavy’s 7 hectare estate has the distinction of possessing the deepest cellar (5.5 metres) in Puligny. The high water table of the village makes it difficult to dig a proper cellar and, as a result, most of Puligny’s domaines have above-ground caves that rely upon air conditioning. The barrels resting in Chavy’s beautiful, arched cavern contain wine from some of the finest premier cru vineyards found in the appellation.

Alain Chavy makes a restrained style of Puligny-Montrachet, with ripe (but never over ripe) fruit balanced by crisp acidity, designed for long ageing.
