January 2011 of January 2011

In early November, Josh Raynolds and I took the New York-Geneva flight and hit the ground running.  He headed to Ampuis, the home of Cote-Rotie, for his top-to-bottom tour of the major Rhône appellations while I drove off to Beaune, the nerve center of Burgundy.  Over the next couple of weeks, each of us tasted over a hundred wines per day, without even a Sunday off for bad behavior.
