Terug van niet ver weg

The beach

1sec exposure at iso400

Het strand van Wimereux, één van de charmante badplaatsen langs de Opaalkust. Tot zonsondergang kon je de kunsten van tientallen wind- en kitesurfers bewonderen. De strakke wind gaf problemen met mijn vrij licht statief. Desondanks werd het nog wel wat met deze ’1-seconde-licht’

WBW #47: miss ‘T’ has an S!

Château de Tracy, Pouilly-Fumé 2004Give me a S! Give me a T! Since I didn’t have the money for expensive bottles of Champagne, I looked in my own cellar for a bottle of wine with a S, and a T! I tasted the Mademoiselle de T, it’s the second wine of the Château de Tracy, near the bank of the Loire, in France. It’s made of Sauvignon Blanc-grapes – hey, there’s my S! I bought this wine two years ago, when my lady and I did a tour of the valley of the Loire. We visited every castle you could see and bought every wine they make there :-) almost. This lovely miss T has nice scents of grapefruit, lemon and strong minerality. I also taste hints of peach and passion fruit. The refreshing acidity of wine is just wonderful – after your first glass, you’re surely want a second! The lemony sours linger on and on and on… a very lovely wine! We bought it for only 10 euros a bottle (15$) at the Chateau. I think all roads to southern France will lead us via Tracy this year…
