 Wine tourism has become recently very popular phenomenon. Statistics show that it is now one of the fastest growing tourism industries. But before we go to a real vineyard, it is better to start to know us the best wine trails. In the French Jura, are parks, there are no dinosaurs. It is for this wine, almost as remarkable as those antediluvian reptiles. Not very clear why it became extinct. Not much is known also as the pride of the region arises, vin jaune, or yellow Jura wine.
Although the phenomenon studied not just what kind of scholars, among them the most famous, Louis Pasteur, nobody was able to reveal the end of the shroud of mystery. The shroud is not a metaphor. When the fermentation of grape juice Savagnin local species, the wine is matured in a barrel, on the surface creates a veil of yeast nectar and protects against oxidation. What is before. Yellow wine has matured for at least six years and three months. During this time evaporates, and it is the power. "A portion of the angels," because so poetically called the losses are almost half the contents of the barrel. With other wines that are present in oak wood with much less (Bordeaux two years), regularly completes the contents of the barrel. Yeast mysterious shroud, a flower, as they say or Mycoderma vini, as they called it the scholars found only in two places. In the Jura, was in Spain, where wine is produced xerez wine, or sherry. Vin jaune is sold in bottles with a capacity of 0.62 l. According to the mythological interpretation, so what is the one-liter after the division of the angels. This myth is probably not too far from the truth, but only by accident. Escape phenomenon is ephemeral, not subjected to strict and weights. A dish is a legacy of the nineteenth-century "Englishwoman". Because the bottle does not correspond to European standards, its conduct requires special dispensation Brussels. Perhaps the mystery of yellow wine is associated with its origins. Virtually all the vineyards of France and Navarre - wrote a regional historian - are the result of decisions and orders of men's work. A vineyard of Château-Chalon, one of the most famous and earliest attested vin jaune, manufactured from the fifteenth century, the nuns of the monastery property. So feminine element both its sweetness and bitterness, and a moonlit volatile.

This wine is not easy. In contrast to other legends Jurassic, vin de paille, or straw wine. Took the name from the fact that very ripe grapes are placed in a ventilated room at the meeting that there dry straw losing juice and sugar. Around Christmas, and sometimes after the New Year is squeezed from them remains liquid. The quintal of about 20 liters. This is actually the grape syrup - 300 grams of sugar per liter. Then begins a long, slow fermentation. Three years. When the process is completed, the wine, with a capacity from 15 to 18% alcohol, poured out into small bottles with a capacity of 0.375 l and sells at a price that may occur is dispersed in the legs before the first gulp. This price is the tragedy of lovers of vin jaune and vin de paille, and ensures that the straw bedding will go not into thatch. But what do I do? Yellow wine is produced almost exclusively from the cultivated species of grape in the Jura, Savagnin, which is characterized by low productivity. Vin de paille a combination of chardonnay, pinot noir and indigenous tribes: the same Savagnin and Troussard and Poulsard - whose group also did not scatter like a horn of plenty. Then you pay for six years waiting for a vin jaune and for all, what angels drink, or for what is gone. A wine of straw for what it simply dried up. In addition to yellow and straw, Jura produces a white wine, in color, as often happens, yellow, and red, the color pink more. The vin jaune there is nothing to compare them, but they have their supporters. Jura, sandwiched between Switzerland and Burgundy, is the smallest of the French wine regions, vineyards cover just over 1800 hectares. Wine Jurassic make So - in volume - much. Many of the species is Jurassic wines. Territory has four appeals Geographic (restricted designation of origin, AOC) and the two species.

China - Shaolin Temple, Xian

China capable of surprise. After sterile clean Beijing - Luoyang which is to put it mildly a bit neglected. About hotels not even mention. Another surprise is the Shaolin monastery - we expected to see the temples and monks practicing - and also delighted us fantastic mountains where we spend the whole day. Oh, those beautiful china. But not Luoyang! I think I can safely cracow stag weekends auto.motor-blogs.co.uk mercedescarsite.co.uk say that the city is less than 1.5 million people is a terrible hole and there's not interesting! Upon arrival to the metropolis willy-nilly first station we visited. Longer remember how it works - as soon as you arrive you need necessarily to buy tickets as soon as possible and making good conditions to then get out of this place ... No such charm - nothing can not help it. So happy we have tickets to Xian (109Y) - was a bit of the obstacles because it's already the next day's departure - was, therefore, only tickets for the train at midnight.
