What great wines are produced in the Loire Valley!  And the diversity is amazing.  If there were just one
region I could drink wine from, it would be from the Loire.  From delicious sparklers, to focused Sancerres,
to the wide range of flavors extracted from the Chenin Blanc grape, to the ever so classy Cabernet Francs
from Chinon and Bourgeuil.  And don't get me started on the sweet Vouvrays and Coteaux de Layon!  
Diverse tastings with a wide range of wines are some of the most enjoyable events to do.
