Headed back to Paris....

Thought I would post a few more photo's from Piedmonte.  It was just so beautiful.  There was a bit of that dreamy fog hanging over the Valley on the morning Michael and I left.  Just couldn't resist  a few more pictures, or a taste of Piedmonte wine for that matter.  We did two quick tastings,  one at Moccagatta in Barbaresco and the other, Malvira in Roero.  Moccagatta is one of the area's oldest wineries and Malvira is one of the larger producers of Nebbiolo.  At the Moccagatta winery the owner poured a very special 1990 reserva for us.  It looked like a port but tasted like a fine aged Barbaresco.  Molto Benne!
Back to Paris we go....

Tasting at Malvira.

Back in Paris, on to the market and an evening stroll. 

We headed to the open air market at La Bastille.  Right away Michael spotted the famous French  chicken, (Poulet de Bresse).  It is characterized by the red head(comb), white feathers and blue feet which are so admired by the French as it represents the red, white and blue of their flag (tricolor).   The feet  are usually left on after cooking for presentation.
