No longer everyone. We went there on our bike tour last year, were even going to stay overnight, it's been sold, now inhabited by evil surly biker people, I kid you not. Mega avoid.
not that it matters a lot, but do you mean motorcycle bikers or pedal bikers?
Given that it's BJ, I'd wager that it's the motorized sort.

How sad. And just when United announced a direct flight to Bourgueil.
I don't know if I can drag myself away.

Very good! (but you don't have to; they will call folks to do it for you.)

They used to have Rougeard back into the 1890s...
Last time I was there, the really old stuff was gone.

I have an inordinate fondness for Mas de Gourgonnier red. Those fat little bottles come with many a fond memory. And their fancy cuvee isn't bad, either.
I've only got a nondescript Australian pinot grigio at the moment. But there's a kangaroo on the box, so I'm pretty happy about that.
Yes I luvs that fat bottle!!!
I totally know what you mean. It is just a classic wine.

We were on a little pedal tour (Orleans to Villandry in our case). Actually I realize now the Promenade visit was made via our rental car. The evil surly ones were more motor biker type people.
Seriously, it was surreal, the single worst place we've been in France.

BTW, it was your trip report that prompted us to go!
We actually just left, it was so obnoxious. We heard later it had been sold, to great local lamentation.

Googling around I can find lots of people who liked it under Ludo and Sophie, that it was sold in early 2016 to Nora and Samuel, who reopened it on April 1, but very little about what it's like now.originally posted by BJ:

However, I take it as an ill omen that the one-year celebration was hosted by a band named Sounds of Anarchy -- black shirts, skeletal hands, grinning skull, blood-red lettering, you get the picture.
