I just got back from my all day wine tour today. The operators, David and Lynne, confirmed my suspicions that the cellars I visited yesterday are tourist traps. They stopped recommending both of them to clients some 5 years ago. I tasted some pretty good stuff today and the tour was educational. I feel like I have a real understanding of the Burgundy region now. I also met some nice people from Seattle and had a couple beers with them in Beaune afterwards.
I just stopped typing this post for like 45 minutes while I had a beer bought for me by some very friendly tourists from Atlanta who just joined the hotel. I gave the blog address to them, so if you get around to reading this, hi!
Tonight is my last night in France, so I had my hotel reserve a table for me tonight at Le Bénaton, a Michelin one star rated restaurant. One star might not sound like a lot, but it's quite hard to get even that - there are only two one-star rated restaurants in Beaune. This one was recommended by the tour operators today.
Am having more fun now, and looking forward to Interlaken, where I have reserved a tandem hang gliding flight.

Bon soir, Chris, from your new friends from Atlanta. Had a fabulous dinner last night with a Beaune winemaker and his wife.
We are in Brussels now and will spend a couple of days here before heading back to Atlanta. Hope you are enjoying your time in Interlaken!
