Bicycling adventure

 Still in Bailly and bicycled to Irancy, a beautiful hill town that produces Burgundy wines.

Did fine on the bikes and were able to see more scenery.  

Stopped at one of the homes, all of which have cellars from three centuries ago.  Nice fellow spoke English.  They have 14 hectares (about 35 acres) of grapes, and contribute to the Bailly Lapierre collective.  They make a pinot noir rose and several kinds of Burgundy wines.

Had a lovely tasting and left with wines for Juniper.  Luckily it was all downhill going back with that! Only one restaurant here which we couldn't get a reservation.  Maybe on the way back up the Nivernais in October.

Met some New Zealanders on a wine tour who have their boat in Auxerre.  Unfortunately it is waiting for repairs, although they did have 6-7 weeks already on her.  It's a boat!
