I did taste his chenin blanc which is made in a tank roughly twice the size of a household hot water tank and it was excellent.

I hope Matthieu opened some 2000 and 2001 whites for you.
The guy across the street is doing some nice juice as well.

I had visited there in 2008 and spent time with Bernard’s son Matthieu. Aside from samples in the tasting room and barrels, I had the opportunity to taste a couple of older fuzzy bottles from the cave poured on that barrel outside. Excellent wines.

I’d say Loire Valley. Probably around Saumur and if not, Vouvray.

Looks like caves I saw near St. Nicolas de Burgeois in the central Loire.

I never get these right! But always enjoy the read, so thanks! Btw, have you guys heard of lovethis? I’ve started using it to get wine recommendations, pretty useful. Check out my recommendations and I’d be interested to connect with you guys to find some interesting labels and new producers. Here’s a link to my profile: http://ow.ly/42A6l. Keep up the great blog, how do I subscribe?

Damn, I’m too late and I would have been wrong but caves like that are all around Hungary. Hope you’re enjoying Baudry!

Congrats to all those who guessed the Loire! And to those who guessed Saumur, you know your tuffeau! But Jean-Luc and Cleggton get honorable mention for guessing Chinon, which is where I took the photo. The cave is at Domaine Bernard Baudry. I liked the kids’ toys outside the cave since that’s what my cave would also likely look like if I had one!

More details of my visit there coming up next week!

Must be Champagne. Looks like Cramant, just outside the village on Rue des Grappes d’Or?

Could be the troglodytes in the Loire Valley. I had dinner in one. Very unpleasant musty smell.
