Wine and Chocolate

[Thomas]

And Banyuls is produced from grenache.

They also produce table wines nearby, in a place called Colliour (sp), next to Banyuls Sur Mer.

Two beautiful places along the Mediterranean, about an hour drive over the mountains to Barcelona. Vines carpet the steep slopes down to the Mediterranean and the colors of the area are incredible. I think the French call it the blue coast. Matisse had a studio in Colliour, which I am sure I am not spelling correctly, but it's Saturday and my brain is asleep.
