Pinging Bi!!
Hello,
I have read your list of stops - you appear to have had a wonderful stay in Bourgogne! I would like to know to what extent your trip was a special case - you seem to have got very chummy with the various producers (lunch here and there etc) - of these producers, would they all welcome visitors? TIA Cheers Nils

TIA Cheers Nils To make a long story very short, my wife and I have been visiting France annually for many, many years. I have an affiliation with a wine distribution and import company and made contacts at a number of wineries that way over a number of years. Additionally, since on this trip we were accompanied by three other couples I arranged a tour service operator that we have used in the past Peter Smith with Avalon Tours to help plan the itinerary, arrange bus transportation and help with translation. Many of the stops were arranged through the distribution company. A few were arranged by Peter. I think that most everywhere we stopped that visiors were welcomed on an appointment basis. Lunches were an accomodation made in part because of my affiliatin with the distribution company.
