Episode 1 of a 3-part series where I'm taking you where no one has ever taken you before, discover the Loire Valley of France and hearing from local growers and winemakers about how they craft delicious wines from Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc or Cabernet Franc.

In this episode, I am taking you to the birthplace of Sauvignon Blanc wine grape variety in the village of Sancerre in the Upper Loire wine country of France.
Iinterview Catherine Corbeau-Mellot (Jospeh Mellot) and Jean-Marie Bourgeois (Henri Bourgeois) about the story behind their wines and the region, its history, its unique soils & terroirs, their vineyards.

Join the journey and find out whether this area of the Loire is worth its reputation as a wine tourism destination.
