Machorre

Saturday evening, we had dinner with the owners of Château Machorre where the 2003 vintage they served was at the level of a classified growth, sold in stores in the US for less than $15, and with a great packaging.

We had the pleasure to meet an American couple; he works for Total, and she, of Chinese origins, manages Robert Redford’s wine section “Sundance” created in 1961 in his estate in Utah. This complex is a cinematographic institute as well as conference center on environmental problems. Robert Redford is one of the first American actors to defend the environmental cause.

We spent Sunday with Murielle’s family to celebrate Mother’s Day and at the end of the day, we joined our Austrian friends at l’Essentiel for a tasting.
