An end of February drive in the Sancerrois

In the northern part of the Sancerrois near Sainte Gemme
It is beginning to warm up in the Sancerrois and it is noticeably warmer than when we were here earlier in the month.  The weather forecast was for clouds and rain but we were a littl luckier than that.  Here are the photos we took on Saturday 28th February 2015.

A beautiful old farmhouse
Working in the vineyards and burning the rubbish between Sancerre and Vinon
Even on a Saturday at the end of February there is work to do in the vineyards near Sancerre
Wine growers huts in the Sancerre vineyards
Vineyards and tree above St Satur looking towards the River Loire
The old railway viaduct at St Satur looking towards the Chateau of Sancerre
For aperitif this evening a nice glass of Michel Girard Sancerre blanc...
...served with smoked salmon toasts garnished with basil and caviar
Rather a nice aperitif. Just butter some thinly sliced baguette and put a little smoked salmon on them.  Then finish with some chopped basil and lumpfish roe.  Rather delicious!
