Wine Tasting and History Lesson May 3

Of all the days we have had in the last week this is by far the best blue bird day you can imagine.  We had to travel through 9 locks this means we could spend much more time walking, or biking.  Tonnere is a town along the way and some of us took liberty to stop and PAY for a beer at a street bar remembering alcohol is included on the boat.  Today we were able to sit out on the deck and have lunch which included, tabbouleh salad, cucumber salad, carrot salad and roast pork.  The wine was a rose, I was pleasantly surprised how good it was.  Every time  we go to for our tours it  seems to be 20 minutes away, and heading to the winery is was exception.  Domaine Alin Geoffroy is a family owned winery located in the town of Chablis.  Glen lead us on a tour and history lesson of the winery and some 8 bottles of wine tasting.  Natalie one of the proprietors  who oversees the wine tasting and had a slight resemblance of Barb Jacobson,  so much so I had a picture taken with her.  After the tasting we are driven up to the overlook of the vineyards backdropped with the town of Chablis.  After returning to the boat is was time once again to be served a lovely dinner.  The first course consisted of fryed goat cheese on a toast, followed by monk fish, cheese and strawberry crumble.  As the week winds down the energy level of the group is starting to slow down.  Everyone was tucked in to there comfy beds at a reasonble hour.
