Anniversary Weekend
General June 9th, 2008
We had a WONDERFUL anniversary weekend in the Champagne region of France. We went to a champagne tasting at Françoise Bedel et Fils on Saturday which was incredible - we discovered a complexity level in champagne that I didn’t even know existed. (We also heard all about bio-dynamic agriculture which adds new-age stuff to organic farming — it’s pretty out there!).
We had a lot of wonderful meals, most especially at the wonderful Chateau Les Crayères where we came for our wedding night a year ago. Like last year, we were blown away by the excellence of the cuisine (and this year I was really able to appreciate it). I am still re-living the various lobster dishes, the incredible stuffed vegetables from last night, an amazing raspberry dessert, and at least 4 types of champagne, of which the Cristal from Roederer will probably forever sing in my heart. Pure perfection.
Needless to say, it was NOT a diet weekend, not by a longshot. Luckily, the indulgences were all really worth it, and I’m back on track now.

I doubt it would have been a diet weekend for anyone! And it definitely sounded worth it. Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary. Sounds fab. DH & I celebrated 10 years in April, but nearly in as grand a manner… yes, jealousy talking here!

Wow! What a fabulous weekend! You earned it! By the way, my last name is Roederer and we occasionally get asked if we had anything to do with that wonderful champagne. Sadly, no, but we’ve had it a couple of times and it certainly brings no shame to the name!
